Hi everyone,

The message-ID's of mails that have been (auto-)learned by Bayes are stored indefinitely in bayes_seen. Which, over the years that we've used SpamAssassin now, has grown to a 320MB file. We're using site-wide Bayes databases. What would be the best way to trim down this database, safely? Given that it only stores message-ID and spam status, I assume there is no way to rescue more recent entries, and I'd have to wipe it altogether?

Follow-up:
I've deleted the Bayes_seen database two days ago: Bayes is still working and has created a new one. Looking at the performance graphs of my server, it's not made any difference in memory consumption or CPU load.

Regards, Paul Boven.
