I'm sure it does.  Compressed, the file is almost 4MB in size.  The .eml
file inside is ~1.8MB (the tgz has the email and attachments broken out
into separate files).

By default, spamc will not pass anything to spamd that is >250k
in size because resource requirements go up dramatically
as the message size increases.  This is documented at
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SpamdKillingServer

How are you calling spamd?  If through spamc, it should't send the message
through to spamd unless you've increased the max message size via -s.
If it's through another method, you should configure it to not send
large messages through to spamd.
