[Spambayes] suggestion: sb_server.py to score messages via filesockets

Dear Kenny,

Thanks -- that does help a lot. I'm using sb_bnfilter now and that
does avoid the repetitive loading of my large training data set.

Too bad the sb_bnserver doesn't implement training via a SMTP proxy
like sb_server does. To train on new messages, I now have a cron
script that periodically retrieves the good/bad mailboxes from my
Windows machine over a network share. Slightly complicated but it
works.
