    I have recently updated my SA from sources (as posted on the list) and
    found some very interesting info for you in
    'Mail-SpamAssassin-2.61/sql/README':

    | Using SpamAssassin With An SQL Database
    | ---------------------------------------
    |
    | SpamAssassin can now load users' score files from an SQL database. The
    | concept here is to have a web application (PHP/perl/ASP/etc.) that will
    | allow users to be able to update their local preferences on how
    | SpamAssassin will filter their e-mail. The most common use for a system
    | like this would be for users to be able to update the white list of
    | addresses (whitelist_from) without the need for them to update their
    | $HOME/.spamassassin/user_prefs file. It is also quite common for users
    | listed in /etc/passwd to not have a home directory, therefore, the only
    | way to have their own local settings would be through an RDBMS system.

    I don't know if the bayes database can go there, but my feeling is "no" -
    I hope to be wrong. It is promissing...

    X-)

    I must confess that my first real contact with Linux was a server on the
    job on which I had an account, and which I used telnetting from windows.
    Some short months later, I was installing it at home (SuSE 5.2, I think).

    :-)

    Why not? If he knows MsDos, it is not so different; and you can not do
    much harm on a user account (unless bad intentioned, of course).

    Of course.

    There are some specialized companies out there (not ISPs) that filter you
    email before you retrieve it, for a fee.
