Yes.  Please run it nightly even if you don't have a high volume of mail
or if you don't sort the ham/spam often.  The current logic that I found
while trying to get this rebuilt on the new server is the following:

10 minimum contributors on the latest "sa-update" tagged revision
AND
150,000 ham combined minimum over the past 84 months
AND
150,000 spam combined minimum over the past 2 months

This is all based on the latest tagged "sa-update" in this link:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/tags/?sortby=date#dirlist

The rsync stage dir with the latest "sa-update"tagged version  is setup
shortly before 9:00 AM UTC so it works best if automasscheck-minimal.sh
is cron'd to run a few minutes or so after the top of the hour.  Technically
it can be run anytime after 9:00 AM UTC for the next ~17 hours but if we
could get enough to run in that first hour, we could potentially speed up
the sa-update process quite a bit without having to wait most of the day
like it does now.

P.S. Based on some documentation I saw on the wiki, I have been moving
ham and spam older than 90 days into an archive folder.  But now that
I see the ham goes back 7 years, I guess I need to keep my ham in my
masscheck ham folder longer.
