Right, as spam producers are evolving, so is SA, which has more refined approaches with every version. But there are many knobs to play with, so a poorly set newer version of SA can still produce worse results than finely adjusted older SA with SARE rules. When comparing default setups, with network tests and bayes enabled and common SARE rules, the newer version of SA should behave noticeably better that the previous version.

From my point of view the most significant improvement of SQL-based bayes over dbd-based one is that autoexpiry runs are an order of magnitude faster than before. With dbd-based bayes it is not wise to let autoexpiry run, and one has to do them from cron or manually every once in a while. Forgetting to do so can lead to successive failures where each auto-expiry attempt is aborted by a timeout, only to be retried soon afterwards, with slim chances of being successful. With SQL-based bayes this all became a non-issue. And regular checks are a trifle faster, even with SQL server on the same host. > I still have to move from Sendmail to Postfix but that I need more time... As has been pointed out on the Postfix list recently, once you have mastered setting up one MTA, putting up the next one is much easier, despite being of different brand - you have already mastered the concepts.
