<P><FONT SIZE=2>I asked this question about two weeks ago and the answer was basically, you can't. There is an option for "max spamassassin size" but this just sets the size of the portion of each msg that is scanned. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I believe it used to mean what you want it to do but was changed at some point. I would also be interested in a true "max scannable msg size" parameter. Let me know if you come up with anything.</FONT></P>
