Hi, Turn off automatic Bayes rebuilds, and run a rebuild once a day using sa-learn.
For example on *nix I use the following: /usr/local/bin/sa-learn --force-expire Which is run via cron once a day during the wee small hours. > I just upgraded to MailScanner 4.46.2 (current stable version) and > SpamAssassin 3.1.0. I have five MailScanner child processes, and they > restart themselves every 4 hours. > > On startup, the first of the five MS processes discovers that a Bayes > rebuild is due, and proceeds to run it.
