Hi,
I would like to verify a feature which was pointed out to me recently
through a mailing list.
If qmail-queue-scanner.pl is configured to use spamassassin using the
client spamc which connects with spamd, then the $spamc_options are by
default "-c -f". If a spammer sends a spam mail with an attachment
greater than 250k, doesn't this mean that the spam mail will not be
flagged as spam because by default spamd only sends messages less than
250k to the spamd daemon.
From the man pages of spamc:
-s 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. Note that the default size is 250k, so if spamc
gets handed a message bigger than this, it wonÃt be passed to
spamd.
The size is specified in bytes, and if you send it a negative
number, things are quite likely to break very hard.
