Thanks, I had an initial suspicion that something was misconfigured on my previous snapshots as I saw spamassasin being executed but never used a lot of CPU (though it did flag 1 - literally one, email as spam - but that's expected volume for a server with 2 accounts). It's quite possible that Bayesian filtering started working for me only since this snapshot. I would appreciate it if you could check the size of your bayes_toks db & some info on general growth per email (seems to be around 30-60M on my server) as that's the only thing I think could be wrong with it atm. 65.3G accumulated in less than 24h for a DB that serves around 11k emails *per month* seems a lot (and most of that traffic are OpenBSD mailing lists).
