Note: Having been there, done that; This will eventually wind up
confusing the hell out of bogofilter.

The problem is that spamassassin's accuracy isn't that great, and
it will wind up adding a bunch of spam as 'good', and a bunch of
'good' things as spam, which will seriously degrade the
bogofilter effectiveness.

What you're better off doing is using spamassassin to build
a corpus, then use bogofilter to improve the sort, and
finally do a pass by hand. You'll be suprised at how often
spamassassin gets it wrong. :(

Michael, doing the experience thang.
