Alan,
But that's not really spam in the sense that SpamAssassin defines
spam. Large attachments may be unwanted and even unsolicited, but are
usually from people you have an existing relationship with (I would
imagine). I would doubt that there is much benefit in feeding large
e-mails into SpamAssassin.
