I think so, and I don't recall any special handling being needed for sa-learn, which can create a new token file. There is a lock-file that can be used but I doubt it would be needed in this case. I wouldn't just rsync it though. However the file is copied, I'd finish with an atomic mv so there is no risk of a partial file. > in case of clamd rsync "/var/lib/clamav/" is enough > > background: > > * a perfect trained bayes on the inbound spamfirewall > * after recently a account was hacked and sent spam > (luckily not massive by rate-limits) which would have > been clearly caught by SA/spamass-milter i consider > to install SA also on the submission servers and just > rsync the bayes per cronjob This is not ideal, a well-trained incoming database wont be well-trained for outgoing mail.
