From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040404 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: When the files in /var/spool/mail reach a critical aggregate size, spamassassin fails to deliver mail. I use postfix and I have the default procmailrc include the spamassassin-spamc.rc. Works fine until one of my users mail spool gets too large. If I move the large file or deactivate the spamd service, the messages are delivered. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spamassassin-2.63-0.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install and configure postfix + spamassassin + procmail 2. Make a really big file (>10MB) in /var/spool/mail 3. Actual Results: No email is delivered to any account Expected Results: Mail gets through Additional info:
/etc/postfix/main.cf: mailbox_size_limit = 1000000000 Your postfix must be configured to allow bigger mail boxes. This is not a bug.
Hmmm... that would not explain the interaction with spamassassin. Why does disabling spamassassin allow mail to go through when it previously did not get through?
I am not entirely sure what you mean. If you are sure this is a spamassassin problem, please talk to upstream spamassassin. Refer to this bug URL and provide more details. Otherwise I believe Fedora cannot help you further.
