# Spammers do not have the power to send out huge messages to everyone as
# it costs them too much (more smaller messages makes more profit than less
# very large messages). So if a message is bigger than a certain size, it
# is highly unlikely to be spam. Limiting this saves a lot of time checking
# huge messages.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Max Spam Check Size = 150000

It does not clarify if it bypass white/blacklist checking.
