Problems with huge messages

[Henry Burbano]

Sorry I explain in a wrong way,  you have the reason, first sendmail , then
MailScanner and  sendmail again, but sendmail stop the messages after
MailScanner has processed the message.  I have enable message size
restrictions in sendmail. When I work only with sendmail all works fine, the
huge messages are stopped and deleted, but when I enable Mailscanner, I have
problems.

I need your help to configure the MailScanner to skip the scanning.
