 I found useful to put in cron a little script like this

 Each minute cron launch this script that takes messages of last minute
 reading from maillog database

What's the purpose of this script, what's the reasoning behind running this thingie every minute?

What you do is training the Bayes filter every minute. Training a filter is something which should never be done unattended, but always supervised, because if not you will get bad results over time.

The execution of the training program can safely be automated, though I'd agree once per minute is a bit excessive. The classification of messages into the folders that are trained from is what needs manual supervision.
