Error code 98 is described as the message being fed being to big
Documentation aside, why are you passing such messages to SA in the
first place? I'd recommend adding a size test to your script - why
waste the cycles asking spamd to ignore the message because it's too
large to scan?
That would be a good optimisation. But I did not know this possibility
when I wrote the script and was taken by surprise about why my script
did not work.
Ah. Ok.
How do I found out what the size limit is? And I still need the check,
because when the size limit changes (or the wrong one is used) you will
get the error.
Per "man spamc":
-s max_size, --max-size=max_size
Set the maximum message size which will be sent to spamd -- any
bigger than this threshold and the message will be returned
unprocessed (default: 500 KB). If spamc gets handed a message
bigger than this, it won't be passed to spamd. The maximum
message size is 256 MB.
The size is specified in bytes, as a positive integer greater
than 0. For example, -s 500000.
I'd suggest doing a size test and explicitly telling spamc to use the same
size limit.
