[AMaViS-user] amavisd-new filling /var/amavis/tmp because of file

Hello!

We use FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p11, with amavisd-new-2.4.4,1.

Today one of our antispam servers had its /var partition overfilled.
The problem was due to file dumping core on the p001 text part of a
spam email (I have reported this as a bug to FreeBSD), and that made
amavisd-new constantly reprocess this spam email thousands of times
and fill /var/amavis/tmp with 30 GB of half processed emails.

The main problem is that file dumped core, but shouldn't amavisd-new
give up on an email when it has failed several thousand times in a
short time span?

Thanks!
