We're requesting 0644 & ~umask for the environment,
so your setting cannot work.

Try this patch (which uses 0664 & ~umask) and let us know if it works, I
presume it should work without your adding the umask() to bogomain if
you set the umask to 02 in your shell before starting
bogofilter/bogoutil, this is against 0.93.1.

The same change has been made to CVS so it can become part of 0.93.2.
