Emanuele... not sure it's doable nor if you can/want take the time to
do it but... in a past we discussed the same thing (timeframe) while
dealing with "InetMsg-Spamdomains"; the solution (ok the approach) was
to have separate signature files ... so one may either pick the "2
weeks" one or the bigger "2 months" one; now, I'm not sure (as I wrote)
it's doable, but it may be an idea having a second set of databases
carrying signatures related to a shorter timeframe (so smaller); at
that point one may decide which signature he prefers to use (not both,
by the way, that doesn't make sense :D)
