I hope I'm not exceeding the patience of the list by posting a third
question in two days :-)
I realise the above question is a "soft" question, probably without a
definite "yes" or "no" answer. I am hoping that people with experience
of using SA in various environments might be able to throw in some
opinions. Based on the documentation, it is clearly possible to transfer
a bayes database from one install to another - specially if it is a
sitewide database. What I was wondering is if it is worth doing so from
a results point of view. For example, I now have a nicely trained bayes
with a few thousands of my own ham, clean, hand-picked emails and a few
hundred spam emails. Would there be a significant benefit in taking this
data and using it to setup a fresh SA install on a client's server? Or
the fact that my specific email usage pattern and content of the email I
receive being different from the one of another organisation would
render the bayes tokens/data useless - and I am better off starting from
scratch there?
I've tried searching online for a discussion on this topic, but the only
relevant bit I found is this unanswered post from 2004:
