Do you find that SA is more efficient (uses less resources) than 
Bogofilter?  Not on my system it isn't.  Assuming it isn't on yours 
either, and since you say that you use Bogofilter as the filter of last 
resort (either it's spam here or it's ham), then what do you gain from 
using SA at all?  If Bogofilter is more authoritative, you're not 
benefitting in the least by putting a less efficient, less authoritative 
filter in front of it.

Also, how can you possibly maintain a valid database if you're using the 
-u option and not training errors?  It seems to me that you're probably 
filtering many more FPs than you realize.

That you know about.  Do you personally review all 25 users' spam 
folders for false positives?
