Based on the way bayes works, that doesn't make much sense Jim. Bayes doesn't learn messages, it learns tokens from within messages. Really, you don't care if SA is going to scan messages of the same size or not. You care if it will scan messages with some of the same content. It's quite possible the 32mb is a large version of a message that's normally short. For example logwatch output. The only reason training the 32mb message would be pointless would be if it only contained content that would be in similarly large messages. Minor Note of Clarification: that 250k default limit applies to those who use spamd, which admittedly Ingo does use. But it is not inherent in spamassassin in general (i.e. those using the API or spamassassin command-line don't have this feature unless implemented elsewhere)
