A while back, i set the $sa_mail_body_size_limit to undef to combat
emails with large jpeg and pdf attachments, well not large but larger
that the 200*1024 limit. These messages were detected under this
setting. When attempting to unlearn (sa-learn -D --ham (or --forget)
{message}), it returns:
[16026] info: archive-iterator: skipping large message
Forgot tokens from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined)
I've been using Amavis (then amavisd-new) and spamassassin long enough
to realize that i need to re-educate myself of the proper techniques,
hence the original question. Been doing ALOT of reading - many
different opinions and trying to get the most optimal configurations to
handle anywhere from 15k to 60k messages per day - small but still
important.
Does anyone have suggestions on the optimal message size limit or will
the default 200*1024 suffice.
