Package: spamass-milter
Version: 0.4.0-1+b1
Severity: normal
spamc -u russ...@coker.com.au --max-size=10485760 127.0.0.1 < spam.mbox
The above command will correctly scan a file that's more than 500K in size.
spamc -u russ...@coker.com.au 127.0.0.1 --max-size=10485760 < spam.mbox
The above command (differing only in the order of 2 parameters) doesn't work,
spamc logs "skipped message, greater than max message size (512000 bytes)" to
syslog. The man page for spamc doesn't document this, it may be a bug in
spamc.
execve("/usr/bin/spamc", ["/usr/bin/spamc", "-u", "russ...@coker.com.au",
"127.0.0.1", "-s", "10485760"], 0x7ffef748a960 /* 15 vars */) = 0
The above is from stracing spamass-milter, it does what spamc doesn't like and
there seems to be no way to stop it.
OPTIONS="-u spamass-milter -e -i 127.0.0.1 -r 5 -- -s 10485760"
Above is the relevant section of /etc/default/spamass-milter, it seems I only
have the option of appending the -s flag to the spamc command-line.
One way of dealing with shis would be to add a -s or --max-size option to
spamass-milter that causes it to put the -s/--max-size option as the first
command-line option to spamc.
Email is getting bigger all the time, multi-megabyte spam messages with PDF and
MS-Office attachments are quite common. Being unable to scan messages more
than 500K in size because of this is a major limitation.
I will also file a bug against spamc for it's part of this.
