After thinking about it, Kris, I do think you're right about the choice,
although not for the reasons you gave. spamc must pass an entire copy
of each email over the Internet to spamd on the 2nd box. If I keep the
SA configurations synchronized between boxes, then the only thing which
needs to be shared across the Internet is Bayes processing, plus several
per-user choices as represented in the userpref table. This _seems_ on
the face of it more efficient that passing off the entire email traffic,
which would have to transit the Internet connection between the boxes
twice.
*nod* I don't know what kind of data size the Bayes SQL queries run,
but it probably averages out somewhere close to a order of magnitude
less than the full email.
I think I misread your original email, and I'm still not sure I
understand exactly what your current configuration is, and what you're
trying to achieve though.
