You need some sort of cron job.  Personally, I have been using a script
posted on the freebsd-perl at ... list by Gordon Tetlow -- see

Jeremy Chadwick also submitted a pretty similar script in 

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=127242

However, neither of these have been accepted by the p5-Mail-SpamAssassin 
port maintainer.

	Cheers,
