Re: Limit message size scans
The problem with editing the users .mailfilter file is that they could overwrite it with their control panel. Seems like a shell script wrapper would be best. Any suggestions on how to configure?

Limit message size scans
I know there are a number of ways to limit the size of a messages that are scanned with spamassasin, but I am having problems with configurations. Spamc seems to have this capability already build in by default. Is there a config file that I can change to call spamc when the call is made from the .mailfilter that is in the users mail folder and contains code to call spamassassin.
