To be honest, I don't understand the -d and -D switches to the commandline. 
I've never used them and maybe this is a reminder to the Spambayes homepage 
webmasters to explain it a little bit for dummies.

I bow my head in shame. I was wrong.
What I reported as so big was hammie.db.dat or hammie.dat
hammie.db was less than a fifth in size.

Thank you for your support.
Spambayes seems to have a problem the second time you run it.
Yesterday I installed the latest CVS without problem (except that 
Wordcount) didn't work after you had trained an mbox.
But then (and this happened last time too) when I the second time run it I 
get these error messages:

C:\Python22\spambayes>C:\Python22\python.exe pop3proxy.py
