bayes expire itself has some 'smarts' built into it that will (depending
on the max tokens settings), try to make a choice as to what to expire.
even if you run expire every day, on a low volume server,it might not
expire anything
So, id say, make sure you use mysql plugin for bayes/awl and expire
every day, either at midnight, or 3am.
(why..? )
you want to avoid DST changes from trying to trigger a second bayes expire.
Not that any bayes expire would take from 1am to 2am, but why chance it?
