David,

FYI, using "-vv" with bogofilter directs it to output a histogram of the 
tokens in the message.  Above it the histogram for your message to the 
list.  As you can see, with my config file and wordlist, there were 100 low 
scoring (hammish) tokens and 38 high scoring (spammish) tokens in the messages.

Below are the last two lines of your "-vvv" output:

N_P_Q_S_s_x_md                     312  0.00e+00  3.08e-03  5.02e-01
                                         1.00e-02  4.15e-01  0.100

The 0.100 is the min_dev value and the 4.15e-01 is the robx value (the 
score for unknowns).  These values tell me that you're using the default 
configuration.  Have you considered running the tuning/bogotune 
script?  Its purpose is to determine the optimal scoring parameters for 
bogofilter, based on the messages in _your_ environment.  I've been very 
please with the script's results.
