In addition to all the good responses you've had I would add that if you
keep the spam after learning, as I do (in case the bayes DB get killed)
then it can sometimes take a while for sa-learn to finish, even though
it will skip messages it has already seen.
I learn from 5 mailboxes (ham and spam) and recently hit a problem where
one sa-learn had not finished by the time the next one started, and
failed because the DB (using file-based db) was locked.

Long story short, if you want to run multiple sa-learn's from cron,
space them out by an hour or so... D'oh!
Perhaps one day I'll get around to putting a feature request into
bugzilla to ask for sa-learn to check for already running instances and
wait for them to finish. I'd love to write it, but unless you want it in
ksh....
