Minimum hardware capacity for 35k e-mail scans/day

[Jason Ede]

Steve,

Have you any performance comparison between that and using mysql to hold the bayes? I moved from normal bayes db to mysql as it seemed much faster and I couldn't find a way to really speed up the bayes checks. So far it does seem much faster than it was (once I'd configured mysql a bit better than the default)

Hi Jules,

Once per day or when the bayes_journal_max_size is exceeded (default is
100Kb) whichever is sooner, or manually via 'sa-learn --sync'.

In reality I've never had issues with using this.  Bayes is useful when
it works, but if you have locking issues and your per-message scan times
are >30 secs because of bayes updates, this makes a massive difference.

Cheers,
Steve.
