My initial request for all items in DB was the hope it would be easier 
to setup multiple machines in a sort of cluster/sharing thing.  As 
you've explained before GlusterFS can handle this, so all items in the 
DB is no longer a big thing for me.

Its fast, it learns well, light use of system resources, stable, active 
development
It has an easy web-ui for users, and multiple ways to retrain
A lot of options and tweaking can be made

We don't have any hard facts on what people are using.  Just what people 
report on the mailing list.
I don't care if it user postgres, mysql, whatever, as long as it 
reliable and does an excellent job of filtering spam.  For my setup I 
choose MySQL and MTA as postfix as I believe these to be the most 
commonly used and as it happens they are both comfortable for me 
aswell.   I would have made the Postgres learning curve if that was the 
only DB available.
I've only used Chain and OSB.  OSB is definitely performing better then 
Chain.
I've only ever used Graham+Burton.

We need more quality developers
