I found that in the documentation after I sent the mail.

OK, because I still didn't reach my tokens limit, I never really had an 
expire running.

OK, learning is quick anyway, so no problem here. The expire will 
definitely run much longer, as you say. But what happens when SA wants 
to auto-learn another message while expire runs? Will it wait and 
timeout or just skip autolearning? Skipping would be no problem for me, 
but a timeout could be nasty.

Ah, it's simply the four different score numbers. If english would be my 
mother tongue, I could have guessed that probably. Thx.
