There's a paragraph in the sa-learn man page about it, but it's used in two ways: 1) learning, as you've stated, only if bayes_learn_to_journal is enabled. this means learning is faster, but the change won't take effect until the journal is synced. 2) scanning, the most common. anytime bayes scans a message, the tokens in the message are put in the journal to update the timestamp in the DB for the tokens. this lets the expire routine figure out which tokens haven't been used in a while, and can therefore be removed. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: You think you're confused? Wait till I explain it.
