I don't think these two settings will be used at all if you migrate to SQL however (but I'm not certain) One more thing to consider, SpamAssassin may choose to force-expire at inopportune times. To avoid this, it is possible to set 'bayes_auto_expire 0', provided you create a cron job or script to run --force-expire once each day. The command in this job/script must by run as the amavis user. Here is a sample of such a cron job: http://www200.pair.com/mecham/redhat/spam-maint.txt And a script: http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/bayes-maint.txt I have no idea if these will work on BDSs.
