Has anyone else experienced problems with spam_assassin_is_spam() on
messages with large attachments?
Currently running Solaris 8, sendmail 8.11.6, mimedefang 2.3-BETA-1 and
out-of-the-box SpamAssassin (but without Net::DNS since this has
disappeared from CPAN).
filter_begin is just as per David's sample code :
if (spam_assassin_is_spam()) {
action_add_header("X-Spam-Warning", "SpamAssassin says
this message is SPAM");
}
It seems to work fine on most mail including genuine spam, but it spits the
dummy on messages with large (say > 1 MB) attachments. Log shows
corresponding errors like
mimedefang[7417] : Error from multiplexor : ERR Filter timed out
The smtp server returns a "please try again later" error to the client ..
Anyone have any clues on how to fix this? Running spamassassin from the
command line on such messages only takes a second or so ....
