dspam data sizes

[Christian Damm]

this was discussed in detail (several times) on the dspam mailing list - 
search the archives: 'http://dspam.nuclearelephant.com/search.shtml'.

you can extremely cut down your db size using different methods...which 
training method you are currently using? - once dspam is "mature" enough 
(training wise) it is (for example) a good idea to switch to TOE mode 
(train on error) if your user base is large - your db shrinks and the 
performance gain is big.
