Bayes disk space usage fast increase

[Fabien GARZIANO]

Hi Martin, 

Bayes dir equals to 60% of my /var FS (the MailScanner working and spool directory)
[root at califw3 var]# du -h /var/spool/MailScanner/
794M    /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin
4.0K    /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine
4.0K    /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/27432
4.0K    /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/27537
4.0K    /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/27518
4.0K    /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/27523
4.0K    /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/27578
564K    /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming
795M    /var/spool/MailScanner/

But it has never been so much ...
