No, SA determines when it should/can do it, it's partly configurable but
it doesn't work well at all.

Yes.

Yes, or more often if you want, use crontab as usual to schedule it. I
run it at night when I have little traffic. I recommend not redirecting
output so you can see what's going on in your root mail, you can
redirect later when you feel confident that it's OK.

Nice summary you did, it's correct. I use #3 since I don't have 4.26
(which introduced #2). You can use #2 or #3 but don't trust #1 do the
job. I have had no Bayes trouble for almost 2 months now.
