Some of the packages do provide cronscripts by default. For example, the
spam rules are updated by:
/etc/cron.d/sa-update

I have scripts that I'm currently testing to learn Spam and Ham. I run
the spam script every day and the Ham script at the weekend. I still
need to figure out best way to remove old mails from the Spam folders
and do the same with the deleted folders.

As far as I can tell Kolab doesn't even install the update scripts for
clam. I have installed clamav-update and set freshclam to run every 30
minutes.

Cheers
Chris
