email receives 'Message is too big for spam checks' and disappears

[Greg Krzeszkowski]

Hi,

I've got a situation where a particular email is being logged as too big for spam checks and then isn't delivered to the user, isn't quarantined, isn't forwarded to my spam collector and no further log entries exist.   What troubleshooting steps should I be taking?

I'm running 4.58-9 (installed yesterday!)

log entries are as below:
