It is a question for a SpamAssassin ML, but I can give a quick answer. Did you read the bug 2975? It says that it is acceptable to just throw away the 'seen' database (either SQL or file-based) every now and then (perhaps monthly). It would allow the same message to be re-learned again when its Message-ID is no longer in a database. This is quite alright if it does not occur too often. The 'fix' was that if the bayes_seen file does not exist (e.g. was manually deleted), then SpamAssassin will create a new file-based empty 'seen' database without complaining.
