Generally, no.  SA skips messages that are larger than a size that you
set in the config file.  Most attachments are larger than that size.
Obviously if you have a really small attachment then it will scan it.

The principle of spamming basically is dependent on small messages.
With small messages you can send scads of them.  With large ones you
would take too long.

Hi,

Does SpamAssassin perform tests/scans on attachments?

NOTE: I'm using "spamc (client for spamd)" to get only the spam score of the
email message.  The email message passed to spamc is assembled/prepared on
my own, which is in concert with RFC 822,  produced by my web application,
which means that this email message is not received/relayed via SMTP

My original use case is explained here:
