Yes and No. If we run just one spambayes process server-side at the SMTP
level, the Spambayes DB would probably have to be stored on a server
somewhere, or at least in a user's home directory on a server.

However, with the "multi-master" replicated database, the DB would still
be stored in the local portion of user's profile, and would simply be
synchronized with other local copies. Such synchronization might require
a third "master" copy of the Spambayes DB stored on a server somewhere.

Of course, all of this must be optional, you should still be able to
store the SPamBayes DB in the user's profile as is currently done.
