That's what I do as well, for filtering. But filtering is a read-only 
process with respect to hammie.db, right? As for training, which 
obviously must modify hammie.db, I think it's safe to assume that there 
will only be one training process going on at a time (manually, via 
cron, etc.).

The real question is: What happens if email comes in while training is 
in progress? That's the exact question at the end of David Abrahams' 
document, but it seemed like a different question was getting answered.

On my FreeBSD box using dbhash, I'm able to open a database read-only 
as many simultaneous times as I want while holding it open read-write 
in another process. Does spambayes always open the database in 
read-write mode?
