Possible Suggestion for remote machines
While I'm thinking about this, let me offer up a suggestion...
For those of us that prefer user_prefs in text files but because
SpamAssassin with the preforking is getting much bigger have decided we
need a separate box, does it make sense to run a "spamd-helper" on the
machine with the home directories, whose only purpose in life is to read
user config files and bayes databases and pass them back to the analysis
machine?
(Am I wrong, or does storing bayes in SQL break sa-learn?)
The other option would be to have spamc able to pass these values onto
spamd -- but there might be potential problems there with users doing
things as other users).

Hmm...for the user configuration files, maybe you could just rsync them
between the two servers? Probably a bad idea to do that with the Bayes
databases, though, unless you can ensure they won't be written to during the sync.
