I hope I'm not exceeding the patience of the list by posting a third
question in two days :-)

I realise the above question is a "soft" question, probably without a
definite "yes" or "no" answer. I am hoping that people with experience
of using SA in various environments might be able to throw in some
opinions. Based on the documentation, it is clearly possible to transfer
a bayes database from one install to another - specially if it is a
sitewide database. What I was wondering is if it is worth doing so from
a results point of view
we use our global bayes on the incoming MX and share it with our submission 
servers to stop outgoing spam from hacked accounts
This is a bit OT, but I have had a hard time finding how to setup a global 
bayes DB rather than having everything done on a per-user basis.  Looking 
around the SA wiki, I don’t see global DBs addressed.  Any tips?
https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SiteWideBayesSetup

in case you are runnign spamass-milter that's even the logical default because 
your milter is running as it's own user, with it's own .spamassassin directory 
in the userhome which contains the db
I had a look at that page - I use mysql to store the data, have multiple spamd 
boxes, and spamc on the inbound servers passing mail to spamd once all the 
“front door” checks are done.  In that config, I end up with unique per-user 
bayes tokens.  I’m looking to just pool everyone together, but don’t see an 
obvious way to do that.  It seems like folks in this thread are however doing 
that somehow (perhaps just because they are using a milter or similar).
In case in helps: I use SA with exim - and Exim talks over Unix sockets to spamd daemon. I've used the instructions at the wiki page above to setup the sitewide bayes database - but I don't use MySQL - and it all seems to work as expected.
