The version of spamass-milter in ports has a bug where any emails over 250k hang it. This is because at this point the spamassassin daemon that the milter talks to stops actually processing emails and just passes them straight through (processing a 250k message through ~200 perl regexes is *slow*), and the milter doesn't expect it. The bugs have been fixed in CVS, but there hasn't been another release yet. I recently took over maintainership of the milter itself (not the port), and will get a new release out this weekend. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
