I'd look at putting bayes in an sql database instead. But you can
always dump and import the file as well. look at "sa-learn --backup >
filename" and "sa-learn --restore filename"... If your site has a
relatively minor mail-flow, having it in files may be very OK... But
if not, having it in SQL may be a real performance boost (especially
when doing expiry).
