I think that's overstating it.  It could probably be implemented so it
works or falls back to the status quo. But it's the status quo that's
most wrong.

I think it could have been a lot worst if the backend had been faster
and/or the the attachment smaller so that it completed. In which case
training could have swamped the Bayes database, expiring the useful
tokens. If Redis does its internal LRU expiry promptly, it's the most
vulnerable to this.


With manual training a separate limit can used in sa-learn or spamc.
With autotraining I think anything that's small enough to scan can be
trained.
