The files are the bayes_* files, by default located in the user's $HOME/.spamassassin directory (whatever user is doing the email check at the time). bayes_journal_max_size (default: 102400) bayes_expiry_max_db_size (default: 150000) bayes_auto_expire (default: 1) bayes_learn_to_journal (default: 0) are the local.cf or user_prefs parameters that affect bayes expiration. See http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.0.x/dist/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html#learning_options for the 3.0.x application of these parameters. See http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.0.x/dist/doc/sa-learn.html#expiration for a discussion of expiration. > sa-learn --force-expire will force an expiration run.
