Actually I am between a rock and hard place --
email server on one side and SpamD on the
other.
Apparently the SpamD 'protocol' requires passing the
size to SpamD.
I don't want to start re-writing code all over either
program -- I just want to talk the source email system
into telling spamd whatever it needs to know to be happy.
Currently, I am accumulating bytes, and will use that,
but I am missing something and not getting the write count
(YET.)
