<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I have been trying to figure
out the best way to handle bayes_toks.expire files. I have a large
number of them in my bayes directory (about 1.8 Gb worth) and was
trying to understand if it was OK to delete them. Turns out that it
appears as though it is ok but their presence in my bayes directory
could indicate another issue with my MailScanner set-up (this is on my
secondary mail server so it sees most of the spam). This 'issue'
appears to be that it is taking too long to expire the old records so
MailScanner thinks it is hung and restarts??? So, based on some of the
reading I did in the archives, I turned of auto_expire in my
spam.assassin.prefs file and upped the expire value in my
MailScanner.conf file to one day (86400). However, upon further
investigation, I noted that many simply turn this feature off in both
places and run sa-learn --rebuild --force-expire from a cron job. J<br>
<br>
Just curious what most of you do? Which is better? We do not have
overly busy mail servers ... about 10K per day average.<br>

thanks<br>
