Bug ID: 7475
Summary: only skip processing large attachments
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.4.0
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: spamc/spamd
Assignee: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
Reporter: br...@interlinx.bc.ca
Target Milestone: Undefined
While I can understand why spamassassin has a limit on the size of messages
that it will process, I think there is a reasonable middle-ground between scan
and don't scan in the case of such messages.
Since such large messages are usually due to large attachments, such as zip
files, or graphic (i.e. JPEG, etc.) images, why not process the message but
just skip the large attachments?
There is a lot (i.e. in headers, etc.) that can indicate that a message is spam
without even looking at the attachment, or even just looking at the
attachment's headers but without running the content through the expensive
scanning process.
