Here's my current .bogofilter.cf:

robs=0.0100
min_dev=0.394
robx=0.439254
sp_esf=0.154134
ns_esf=0.866025
spam_cutoff=0.997989	# for 0.01% fp (1); expect 5.65% fn (310).
#spam_cutoff=0.000001	# for 0.05% fp (8); expect 4.25% fn (233).
#spam_cutoff=0.000000	# for 0.10% fp (16); expect 4.25% fn (233).
#spam_cutoff=0.000000	# for 0.20% fp (32); expect 4.12% fn (226).
