That can be a single site-wide database, or a per-user database, but not both.
And for what it's worth, this would be a generally bad idea anyway. The efficacy of a bayes database decreases as it covers more users, because the nonspam tokens start to "blur" together and it has a hard time picking good nonspam tokens. A large enough bayes DB will eventually devolve to scoring all mail at 50%. The power of bayes comes from it the nonspam tokens being customized to YOUR mail, not mine, not anyone elses. You also can't import just the spam tokens from one large database and couple it with the nonspam of a smaller database. This would massively skew the scores so every message would wind up with a 99.999% probability of spam. Consider the following: "hello" - seen in spam by global database 10 billion times, seen in nonspam by local database 50. probability of spam - near 100%. repeat for any word in any language in the world. There's just no way the local nonspam database would have enough hits to balance the spam counts in the global database.
