I have never used -u, because there is a risk of incorrectly updating 
the database. Also It can make your database very large very quickly
and this can slow to response to new types of spam.

I just train on error. You might find the "bfproxy" tool useful for 
the train-on-error process. It allows you to send ham and spam to 
special variants of your email address to update the database.
