Browse - computer tips - spamc skipped message greater than max message size

Date: 2010feb1
Product: SpamAssassin

Q.  Hey why is that message getting through my spam filter.  I get error:

	Feb  1 17:50:17 www spamc[4358]: skipped message, greater than max message size (512000 bytes)

A.

Spamc will not insert any headers if message is bigger than the default of half a meg.  I think this is a bit small by today's standards.
So I run spamc like this:

	spamc -u spamchk -s 5000000

-u is the user to run as
-s is the max size in bytes
What this info useful to you? You can donate to say thanks
