Bayes toks

["help@nantucket.net" <he...@nantucket.net>]

Hey guys, the bayes_toks and bayes_seen files for my users are pretty
bloated and beginning to effect my diskspace.  Is there anything I can do ?
Just nuke them and start over? can I put a limit on them?

in your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf, or any other site-level config file.

see man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf for details on the defaults, etc.

I use a larger-than-default bayes db, and have the expiry size set to 250000.
With this I currently have about 11.4mb of bayes_toks, and my current ntokens in
sa-learn --dump magic is about 262k.

Really, with the defaults, your db should be somewhere in the 6-9mb
neighborhood, which shouldn't be "bloated" at all.

For bayes_toks, you can do sa-learn --force-expire, and the size limit is
defined by bayes_expiry_max_db_size, which adjusts the number of tokens SA keeps.

For bayes_seen, you'll have to nuke it. Note that this isn't entirely safe in
3.0.x and earlier, but in 3.1.x they added code to allow it to be nuked.
