restart from scratch with 3.1.7 ???

[R Lists06 <li...@abbacomm.net>]

Greetings

My SA 3.1.7 installs run as user spamd

My /home/spamd/.spamassassin directory looks like this

-rw-------  1 spamd spamd 5210112 Jan 21 14:25 auto-whitelist
-rw-------  1 spamd spamd   60864 Jan 21 14:25 bayes_journal
-rw-------  1 spamd spamd 2711552 Jan 21 14:18 bayes_seen
-rw-------  1 spamd spamd 5390336 Jan 21 14:18 bayes_toks

Now, lately I am getting quite a bit of BAYES_00 hits and from the simple
searching and reading I have done it tells me that I may need to start over
from scratch as my config was not fully mature at the beginning a year ago
and so the AWL probably has some bad info here and there.

Should I just stop the spamassassin processes, delete the 4 files above and
restart the spamassassin processes and let it go at that, repopulating
itself on the fly by itself ???

Or is there a better way?

I have populated internal and trusted network with info and AWL is on as is
bayes and dns_available is yes

Do you need more info?

Thanks in advance
