Hi, I'm noticing in 2.6 if I set the maxsize to anything say like this:

  <rule id="100006" level="8" maxsize="9998">
    <if_sid>1002</if_sid>
    <match>dotDefender</match>
    <description>Attack Attempts Reported by dotDefender</description>
    <group>system_error,</group>
  </rule>

the rule is completely skipped during the ossec-logtest -f process and only 
reports 1002 alert. If I remove the maxsize="9998" it gets applied as expected.

Sample event log:

However if I omit the maxsize the rule doesn't send out an email (email set to 
alert at 8 or higher) or even log an alert in OSSEC logs/alerts.log

Am I setting up this rule option incorrectly?
