So, you are sending any message whose size is greater than 30K to spamd for
scanning?
So if I send you an e-mail of 10MB it will be scanned (suppose you have no
message_size_limit, then I can even send you 50MB and you get spamd to scan
it?

I do it differently. I use {<{$message_size}{256k}}

There may be spam messages larger than 256k but rare. And spamd is not the
only way to deal with spam.


Those are my thoughts and you are not bound by them.
