I have never been clear about this, in two ways. The relevant bit of man spamc says: -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. My first confusion is that even if there's a knob I can turn up on spamc, there's a "maximum message size". What does that mean? Does spamd have its own limit? Is it really that high? And what happens if I break it? Second, is the default 500 * 1000 bytes or 512 * 1024 bytes? The example seems to suggest the latter. -- Please *no* private Cc: on mailing lists and newsgroups Personal signed mail: please _encrypt_ and sign Don't clear-text sign: http://cr.yp.to/smtp/8bitmime.html
