[Mimedefang] New spam kills mimedefang/spamassassin with newlines

[Martin Blapp]

Hi,

I found out that if one adds 20'000 newlines to a mail,
spamassassin uses a very high amount of ram (~200MB) or
even more if you have more newlines. This is too much
for mimedefang, so the same mail gets killed and killed
over and again. Spamassassin seems to read all lines into
it's memory and allocates some structures for each line
(even the empty ones).

I wonder if there is a way to circumvent this in mimedefang,
or should it be done in spamassassin ?
