This sounds about right.

Yep, right address.
You want to run clientrunner at least once a day. For 40 users, doing
a lot of retraining, I'd be tempted to run it upto 4 times a day,
depending on when the server is most loaded, and how much training is
needed. The script itself takes almost no time, all the time is dspam
actually retraining, but it doesn't usually take long. I personally
run it at about 3am in the morning.

p.s. I'm not on the Dovecot list atm, until I get permanent internet back.
