My poor choice of words., the syntax is still evolving, not a bad thing,
but my scripts were written with an earlier version in mind, and they
are breaking. ;-)

Now to get my scripts working.

With my current setup, nothing has mis-identified as spam, because I
filter before bogofilter touches the email, so it only sees stuff that I
have not set a filter for.

It does miss the variations of the Nigerian Scam, which is no big deal.
They are very obvious to see.
