Hi Printer,

1 - use the maintenance functions in bogoutil

2 - The brief description of the ignore list is: "implemented, not
tested, likely not used".  It's been argued that an ignorelist is of
little use and will just hurt performance.

However, since you asked:  An ignorelist.db file can be created using
"bogoutil -l ignorelist.db < ignorelist.txt".  Look in
bogofilter.cf.example for how to declare one.  

Likely it's a feature that belongs on the "deprecated" list.

If you experiment and find that it works, let me know :-)
