Do you also exclude the Bayes score in your procmail recipe when
you decide what to learn on?
The Bayes auto-learn code explictly excludes the Bayes score when making
its decsions to prevent positive feedback cycles.
Why not do auto-learining, but learn to the journal file?
As that's just an append it should be safe to do.
If it's a matter of write access over a network file system
(EG NFS or CIFS) then you could hack up local journal files and then
have a "sa-learn" cron job that collects the journal files and
processes them.
