------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2007-11-14 00:43 -------
I have just had to try to tidy up after having found "bayes_seen" files of
nearly three gigabytes tucked away under ".spamassassin" on our campus inbound
mail relays filling up our disks.  (Our other monitoring caught this before 
100%.)

I was about to enquire whether we might have an installation problem, but then
found this bug report already open.

So this is an agreement with #1 from Matt that this is a residual untidyness in
an otherwise professional product, that could do with some sort of addressing.

I can see that there are discussions about how best to code it.

But meanwhile the problem persists.

So in the interim could I suggest an FAQ that acknowledges the problem and gives
some sort of workaround/fudge, even if that is as simple (even if suboptimal) as
removing "bayes_seen".  (Can this be safely done without needing to restart SA,
MailScanner, etc?)  Or perhaps an automatically installed cron job that removes
it if it exceeds a certain size.

(Obviously a proper solution in the next release would be ideal.  But if that is
not possible, then some sort of FAQ/known-issue and/or fudge/workaround.)

Hope that helps.
