CRM114 - _many_ files in reaver_cache?!

[Randal, Phil]

Scroll down to the "Notes" section:

"Apparently there's no provision to limit the size of
/etc/mail/spamassassin/crm114/reaver_cache's contents. Running on a very
low traffic test box, the directory has grown to 59MB in less than 24
hrs.
If you do not intend to perform manual re-training to correct ham/spam
detection, it may be wise to set (in
/etc/mail/spamassassin/crm114/mailfilter.cf):

:text_cache: /reaver_cache/ 

to

:text_cache: //

This will disable msg caching of all your mail traffic (keeping a copy
of all ham/spam could also be against corp. policy)
Disabling "reaver_cache" may speed up CRM114 processing by avoiding the
extra msg write operations to "reaver_cache" categories. Note text
