Well, I'm -1 on that. The modules/libspamc shouldn't be trying to make decisions about what work to do. They're functions, they'll do what they're supposed to do. You want the decision logic in front of the modules to decide what to process and what to skip. We do this right now in spamc so that there are no resources used in spamd for large messages. Arguably, we could put the same logic in spamd so that in the event the message gets to spamd, it'll take the memory hit but can return the message unprocessed to avoid the DoS issue. Frankly, this discussion is better suited to -dev and/or another bugzilla ticket though. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
