Description Tim Keitt 2004-05-07 19:58:01 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6)

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

/etc/postfix/main.cf:
mailbox_size_limit = 1000000000

Your postfix must be configured to allow bigger mail boxes.  This is
not a bug.

Comment 2 Tim Keitt 2004-05-31 21:30:21 UTC
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?

Comment 3 Warren Togami 2004-05-31 22:19:40 UTC
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.
