[Spambayes] ham, Sending larger files

[Dale Schroeder]

I also have that problem at our company.  One user routinely sends large 
images and forms via email, so I had to turn off the smtp proxy for her 
account.  Anything above ~1MB would lock the server for a long time, 
then finally, the sending of the message would fail.  Fortunately, she 
was using Thunderbird, and by adding the Thunderbayes extension, she 
could continue to train messages using Thunderbayes rather than the 
outgoing proxy.  A bug was filed by someone some time ago, but the last 
time I looked, it was not assigned to anyone.
Your options are:
1. Disable the smtp proxy for the large message, then re-enable.
2. Train through the web interface.
3. Switch to Thunderbird/Thunderbayes.

Spambayes is still a great program.  I had 281 messages this morning, 
and they all went to the right folder.
