do they? What is meant is that once you reach some threshold the detection rate doesn't improve as good as before. You can't get any better as "nearly everything". But it will drop if no new tokens get added. What is the best > practice to optimize the bayes detection?

No, keep the automatic training (unless there are too many FPs in the autotrained messages). Do a regular manual expire, so old tokens are purged out.
