My logic says that spam rarely stays similar over a four months period. But I see the logic of your words.
Just a small question - when you say "more sources" what do you mean?

The way to adjust maxfiles depending on age is very questionable and unnessary. Where is the difference between 2 or 3 month? Or 4 month? The rule for the database are simple: more words -> better more sources -> better (15000<maxfiles <25000 ) ( 4000<maxsizes<10000) If you reduce maxsize you can increase maxfiles. That will give you good relations in rebuildspamdb. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
