Sorry, I do not plan on making this change. Yes, it would limit the frequency of sa-compile runs, but it would not improve efficiency at all and would negatively impact accuracy. sa-compile only runs when sa-update actually pulls down updates. These updates directly impact spamassassin's accuracy, so it's very important that they're applied in a timely manner. I'd be more inclined to run sa-update *more* frequenty rather than *less* frequenty. If your spamassassin host is underpowered, I suggest that you make this change locally. You might also consider off-loading the sa-compile runs to another host altogether, and copying the compiled results back to you spamassassin host. > [*] The bayes is already learning everyday, so it's not critical to > receive updates every day. This is orthogonal. The rules update schedule is unrelated to what bayes is doing, and it's perfectly valid to run spamassassin with no Bayesian filter at all. noah
