Spam Scanning Larger Messages

I don't see any good reason to do so, but it is possible if you insist:


amavisd.conf:

$policy_bank{'NOSPAMCHECK'} = {
  bypass_spam_checks_maps => [1],
  spam_lovers_maps => [1],
};

package Amavis::Custom;

sub new {
  my($class,$conn,$msginfo) = @_;
  my($self) = bless {}, $class;
  if ($msginfo->msg_size > 400*1024) {
    Amavis::load_policy_bank('NOSPAMCHECK',$msginfo);
  }
  $self;
}

1;
