That's a good idea. I'm getting a bunch of false positives, and putting
bogofilter at the end, rather than at the beginning, will help. OTOH, a
couple of obvious porn messages got past bogofilter, unencrypted ones
that my plain text filters would have caught. I've removed those filters
to give bogofilter a test.

That surprise me. I would have thought that bogofilter would be able to
recognize those. OTOH, I really know nothing about the way it works. I
know I put some Nigerian examples in the spam training folder.
