massive spamassassin database files (Was: RE: Users of RBL's)

[Chris Hammond]

I never noticed before but bayes_seen was almost 90MB.  Supposedly due to a bug
that was supposed to be fix in SA 3.1.x which I am running from Dag's repo but the
db was still huge.  Googling said the only answer was to start over so I mv'd bayes_seen
to a backup file and let it create a new one.  Will see if it makes any difference.

Thanks
Chris

Running check_whitelist -- clean <awl_database_file> will purge all the "seen
only once" entries from the AWL database.
