I have examined the problematic message. It is a bounce
message. In the 
body, there is the short explanation about the bounce and
then comes the 
original message simply attached, ignoring the MIME
structure. Therefore 
the long message will be scanned as if it would be a simple
text.

Is there a solution avoiding the full scanning in text mode
of such 
messages ?

Thanks a lot !
Claude

I have also this kind of problems... I think it is more
related to
SpamAssassin because I had to disable all spam scanning on
my system
to get it working again.

Any hints ?
