so far I was always letting it run once a week over my inbox in --ham
mode and over my spam folder in --spam mode. all tutorials I saw did it
the same way. this also worked for years but likely with less mail
files. I was under the impression that sa-learn would skip messages that
it already learned. the debug log also indicated that it recognized those.

do you run sa-learn over whole maildir all the time?
why?
My server has only 1GB of memory with another GB for swap. sa-learn
is eating up pretty much the complete memory for the run and is only
able to finish when I stop everything else. Why is sa-learn using
more and more memory even when it learned all those messages already
in the past? Is there a way to limit the memory usage except from
making the set of messages smaller?
you are not supposed to repeatedly call sa-learn over huge maildir.
calling over new mail (or, better, false-positives and
false-negatives) is
faster and won't eat all your memory.
