Has anyone used this software?? http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/

I've found it fantastically good but I was hoping to do something intersting with it.

As I have it set up at the moment several individual machines run it and filter their emails. I want to set up a mail server using postfix on Debian (I'll be using greylisting amongst other things) and it will need some spam filtering. Does anyone know if it is possible to use the per user database (resident in Docs 'n' Settings\Application Data\Spambayes\default_bayes_database.db) on the mail server so that I can have an individualised filter for each user?

I know that I can run a python based piece of software on the server and put things in folders and tell it to score as ham and spam but unsure whether I can do what I intend.

Ideas? Experience?

Thanks
 
I'd be surprised if you could get the server to use a database from a client machine. The approach I would take would be get the SpamBayes tokens converted to something that SpamAssassin can read (like a MySQL database), and hook that up with postfix. Individual users can then have their different databases specified in their individual SpamAssassin preference files.
