Wierd bogofilter/procmail thing happening

Chris,
I'd suspect environment variables, specifically different settings for $HOME.
By default, bogofilter uses $HOME/.bogofilter as the directory for storing
its wordlists (spamlist.db and goodlist.db). Different values of $HOME
(between interactive and procmail use) will cause bogofilter to use
different wordlists to score the message, which will result in different
spamicity scores.
Try "locate spamlist.db" or "find / -name spamlist.db" to see if you have
more than one defined.
The solution I use is to define environment variable BOGOFILTER_DIR so that
bogofilter knows where I intend/expect the directory to be. Bogofilter
gives preference to the value of $BOGOFILTER_DIR (as compared to
$HOME/.bogofilter).
Hope this help.
David
