What is Max Spam Size (bytes) (maxspamsize)?

[ph.adam]

Hello,

I'm trying to check that big mails aren't blocked and I found this parameter "Max Spam Size" in Spam Detector Options.

Docs says nothing about it except the unit and the default value:

maxspamsize: <integer> (64 - N) (default = 262144)
Maximum size of spam messages in bytes.

Does it mean that if spam is bigger it won't get analyzed? It won't get stored? It will always be blocked? What if mail is not spam? What is a spam in Proxmox mail gateway? Is a quarantined mail a spam?


For sure, if you know PMG well it is obvious to understand what this parameter does. The thing is, I just understand I need to block spam. And because of that I now have to handle false positive.

Well, thank you in advance for your help

Yes, it simply skips the spam detection phase.
