Noor,

Bogofilter looks for directory $HOME/.bogofilter and files bogofilter.cf
and wordlist.db in it.  With postfix (and procmail), HOME is defined for
you.  With this in place, everything needed for bogofilter to operate on
a "per user" basis is present.  If you can map a domain to a userid,
everything you need is there.
