Hi Eric. I believe that’s the setting that controls the maximum message size 
that the server will accept for delivery. I’m looking for the setting that’s 
the threshold for SpamAssassin (at least, possibly also ClamAV) to skip spam 
scanning on an incoming message to avoid tying up the CPU too long. 

It’s set at 500k as a default, so messages over 500k don’t get scanned for 
spam/virus and just pass through and get delivered. Some spammers send spam in 
the form of graphics that are just over 500k, so no scanning takes place. I 
want to increase that limit to a meg or so.

In Bill Shupp’s version of the toaster, this was a setting in 
/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamc.conf, via a “-s” flag, as in “-s 1000000”. But 
there’s no spamc in the current toaster build, as far as I can see, and if 
there is, I can’t find any config files, or any other component that controls 
it. Something must, though, because messages over 500k are passing through 
without being checked.
