I thought that MailScanners rebuild feature just syned the journal file,
and SA ran the auto expire.  I have already disabled the auto expire in
spam.assassin.conf and have a script that runs in cron nightly that
expires it for me.  With the rebuild in MailScanner.conf set to daily
(which should snyc the journal,correct me if Im wrong)  Is anyone else
using AWL with MailScanner or has everyone just disabled it?

  thanks,
