Hi Bill,

Your bogofilter command can be simplified.  "bogofilter -e -p >
/tmp/bogowrapper$$" should be sufficient since you're using bogofilter's
default paths config file and wordlist paths.  Also the "-3" is not
necessary.  If you have ham_cutoff set in your config file, bogofilter
will use tri-state mode.

Also, if you don't want the X-Bogosity line in the file, you can do
something like:

cat > /tmp/bogowrapper$$
if [ bogofilter < /tmp/bogowrapper$$ ] ; then
# is spam
   cat /tmp/bogowrapper$$ >>/usr/local/spool/spam
else
# is non-spam
  /var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper "$@" < /tmp/bogowrapper$$
fi
rm /tmp/bogowrapper$$

Note:  be sure to test thoroughly to avoid typos and other mistreaks.
