Hi,

I am using sendmail and milter-spamd on soekris systems. This runs fine
until we receive message over 3MB, the load goes very high.

Is there a way to limit the messages that are over 512KB are not parsed by
the filters.
I know it's possible to do something with procmail but it won't works for
the setups i use. The soekris are in front of the real mail servers , i use
a mailertable to route the domains. And when i use procmail the messages are
not scanned by the spamc client, only messages that are delivered to local
unix accounts on the soekris system.

Thanks anyway.

You can send the macro msg_size to the milter and code it in there

Or you can use the milter-rrres patch and run a ruleset to check the
value of msg_size (probably best to check it by the EOH command) and
abort the filter if it is too large

These answers are not specific to milter-spamd or spamassassin.
