You're right, my guy gave me the size of bayes + awl. The real number is 14.5mb. (with an overhead of 3.2mb).

Not sure, that's just what phpmyadmin is reporting. I'll check again. I can't remember if the DB is in double byte or not. One of my guys tweaked it for some other little databases on the same box. -----Original Message----- From: email builder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 1:54 AM To: Gary W.

How do you end up with 40MB of data?: bayes_expiry_max_db_size (default: 150000) What should be the maximum size of the Bayes tokens database? When expiry occurs, the Bayes system will keep either 75% of the maximum value, or 100,000 tokens, whichever has a larger value. 150,000 tokens is roughly equivalent to a 8Mb database file. __________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
