IMO the results are what matters, not the statistics. If you're getting any significant number of spam with BAYES_00 or any significant number of non-spam with BAYES_99, then yes, your Bayes database is poisoned. Yes, if you can quiesce that other server's SA system and copy the quiet (not being updated) Bayes to this server (assuming same version, same software pre-reqs satisfied). Though I have three systems and could do this also I've never bothered. On those (rare) occasions when I've had to wipe a Bayes database (generally because I've poisoned the database myself due to EBKAC error), I've simply deleted the files and then done a manual sa-learn with 1k each of known and verified recent spam and non-spam.
