Re: spam scores being neutralized by bayes

The digest frequency is a per email address option in each user's Maia 
settings (web interface). The digests themselves are triggered via a 
cron job on the maia server. The digest template is a combination of 
options in /etc and your maia templates folder.

Setting the frequency to daily and confirming your HAM/SPAM is a great 
way to ensure that you're training your Bayes db. As a server admin, I 
would highly recommend training bayes with at least your mail data. And, 
if possible, recruit 1 or 2 users to do the same. If no one is regularly 
training your Bayes database with both HAM and SPAM, then I would 
disable the bayes plugin from spamassassin.
