6.8mb spam

Anyone seen these lately? The spam consists of a multi-mb .pps between 3 and 
as of this occurance 6.8mb. I've got my procmail recipe for calling sa set to 
3mb currently:

:0 fw : $ASSASSINLOCK
* < 3000000 
| /usr/bin/spamc -f

will it be worth it to adjust upwards? This not a mail server but just a home 
system with one user, me.

Only 9 of 182 for this month are above 400k. So nothing to be concerned about 
yet, thanks Theo.

The size limitation is useless, spamc has a smaller default limit.

I wouldn't worry about a 7m spam, unless all (or at least a significant
portion of) spams become that size.

Since you are calling spamassassin from procmail, I would not even allow
such messages coming into my system and catch them of the  beginning  of
the ~/.procmailrc
