Spam Assassin

Dec 13 01:56 UTC 2006

How much space should one expect for spamassassin's databases to take
up, and to they plateau after a while or do they keep growing and
growing? I've been using it via procmail for about a week and a half,
and have been running "sa-learn --spam" for every spam piece that it
misses, and the databases have already exceeded a third of a MB. Are the
oldest entries eventually flushed? At the risk of speed loss, can the
bucket-size of the Hash be tailored? I don't want to go over my
allocation of disc (no need to piss off staff). Thanks.
