[Spambayes] Mulitple SpamBayes installs on a network

[Coe, Bob]

Wouldn't you then lose the ability to squirrel the database away in an inconspicuous place (the roaming profile, the non-roaming part of the roaming profile, the user's home directory, etc.)? As a system administrator, I don't like to see unnecessary increases in a user's mailbox size, but it's a lot easier to deal with (for instance) large home directories.
