That is way way too small now. I would go to at least 8 MB. $prefix/etc/spamassassin/spamc.conf should have "-s nnn" where nnn is an integer i bytes. If you aren't pained by the CPU time, it's better to scan. There is certainly spam over a MB. If your server is maxed on CPU scanning mail for a thousand people. that's something else.[q
