Description

Paul Westbrook reports that amavisd-maia's size limit feature is not properly bypassing processing for oversized items. In fact, it /does/ bypass /filtering/ as intended, but it unnecessarily decodes MIME attachments and unpacks them, so the process should certainly be tweaked to avoid this unnecessary use of resources.

Improved in Changeset 967. Oversized items no longer consume any significant memory resources, as they are not recopied internally. MIME parts of oversized items are no longer decoded (though the MIME structure is still deconstructed and reconstructed as necessary to insert/alter certain mail headers), so no attempt will be made to unpack archives or examine the contents.
