Does anyone know if Spamassassin limits the size of e-mails passing
through it? For some reason I though it was limited to 8MB e-mails
I am running RedHat and Spamassassin 3.04 spamd, spamc, postfix.

No, but spamc will by default skip the scanning of any message over 250k. Such
messages just pipe through with no changes. There's no limit in terms of SA as
to how big a message you can pipe through. I get emails with 100mb attachments
just fine.

Trying to get SA to scan really large messages by modifying the 250k threshold
is generally a subject to approach with caution, as it causes the size of the
spamd child to expand considerably. However, the setting is tweakable on the
command-line to spamc.
