Yeah I figured more info might help rather than less. Not that stats are
complete info, but helps.

Yeah that might have come across as a little to negative. Didn't mean to
be :)

Ok, haven't had to do that in the past. Mostly because it was so
effective with the defaults. I didn't want to mess with that by trying
to squeeze every last drop from the prune, and make it less effective
instead of more.

That's not so much problem/gripe. For me it's the amount of bayesian
since I run daily reports on it. To make sure no valid ones are
rejected, since that occurs most times by bayesian. They used to be big,
and long ago when I upgraded to 1.2.x they were cut at min in half.
Which made me very happy :)

I just expected a bit more from 1.3.x based on the following statements.

It could be that I am already in that range only 5%-10% are hitting the
bayesian filter now. But that didn't change from 1.2.x -> 1.3.x.

I run two local DNS servers. It wasn't the DNS aspect that took a while,
it was contacting the third party RBLs or etc that caused a delay. At
times close to like 1 minute or more. I didn't find it acceptable
considering it didn't seem to make a diff. Bayesian spam did not drop,
nor did any other stats.

Not sure what I have there.

Rebuild spam db occurs nightly via cron job for years now. It's part of
my daily monitoring of assp, and my asspr reports are called and
generated from same script that rebuilds.

PB is enable and working. I can see it in the logs as I tail -f the log
file. I wanted PB and SMTP limiting long ago, and was stoked to see
those features added. Those plus greylisting were EXTREMELY effective
from day one. Those three features along, cut my bayesian stuff in half
or less than.

That I doubt I have any understanding of. But now that it's mention. I
will surely look into it.

Really appreciate your input and feedback.

Thanks reviewing and diffing to mine.
