Package: lists.debian.org
Severity: normal

Email with large attachments seem to skip the spam filters:
X-SA-Exim-Scanned: No (on wagner.debian.org); Message bigger than SAmaxbody (256000)

Sadly some spammers are putting 2MB attachments in their mail. It's not
happening often, I've noticed about 3 in the last week. An example on
the pkg-games-devel list:
Message-ID: <588303331.16865287.1377...@ucab.edu.ve>

Please could the maximum size for scanning be increased?


Related bugs:
#706337 spamassassin: should be able to check messages bigger than max-size, e.g. by truncating them for the check

Thanks,
Steve
