           While SpamAssassin is scanning mails, it needs to track which tokens 
it uses in its cal-
           culations.  To avoid the contention of having each SpamAssassin 
process attempting to
           gain write access to the Bayes DB, the token timestamps are written 
to a ’journal’ file
           which will later (either automatically or via "sa-learn --sync") be 
used to synchronize
           the Bayes DB.

In other words, the journal isn't just for learning.
