One of our LUG folks here in St. Louis getting blocked when sending 
email to three recipients:

He is using SASL authentication, .. and postfix is configured to not 
block any email from a SASL authenticated sender:

  smtpd_sender_restrictions =
          permit_mynetworks,
          permit_sasl_authenticated,

Sooo, I assume there is a UBE threshold being triggered in wither 
Amavisd or Spamassassin, however I can find no section in the 
respective conf files that seem to indicate a threshold that could be 
updated. Google isn't of much help, ..

Is anyone aware of where Amavis or SA actually sets the number of 
recipients for a UBE reject? That seems to be the reject reason as he 
does not have a problem when sending with less than three recipients.

         TIA!
