When we ran mail servers on 32bit systems a default of skipping spam checks on
the rare messages that were more than 500k in size made sense.
Nowadays messages larger than that are normal and scanning a 10MB message is
not a problem for CPU use or memory allocation on most systems.
I believe that the default should just work for most people who don't have
unusual needs. Running spamassassin on a 32bit system nowadays is an
unusual situation that the users could be expected to tune for. Running it
on a system with many gigs of RAM is more the usual case.
For the benefit of other people with this issue, a line like the following in
/etc/default/spamass-milter will make it take 10MB messages (the "--" and
following is the relevant part).
OPTIONS="-u spamass-milter -i 127.0.0.1 -r 5 -- -s 10485760"
