If you're using ACLs, you just need to add a condition involving
$message_size. You could use something like this:


warn   log_message  = Skipping spam scan; message too large
        message      = X-Spam-Report: Spam scan skipped;message too large
        condition    = ${if >{$message_size}{4M}}


accept condition    = ${if >{$message_size}{4M}}


warn   message      = X-Spam-Report: $spam_report
        spam         = exim:true


...ACL continues, blocks messages that exceed a certain score etc...


4MB is too big though. You don't really want to be passing messages that
big to SpamAssassin.
