We use 20 MB. I wanted 10, my boss wanted 20, so we compromised on 20. But we still haven't clarified (or maybe I missed it) whether there is a memory leak in clamav or whether the huge file caused the problems leaklessly. I should note that the example/default mimedefang-filter has a condition on it to not run spamassassin on very large messages. It might be safe to do the same with virus scanning. A worm so large that most mail hubs would reject on size is not really going to propogate very far. Alternatively you could use MD to Quarantine very large messages (if you are using some web accessible quarantine mechanism). > > Use ftp for larger messages. > > I agree.

Just to be picky, I always recommend http in the hopes that someday ftp will just go away. > Years ago I read this quote: "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a > stationwagon full of magnetic tape."
