Output is perfect.  If "make check" passes all tests, then your build is 
working as expected.

Correct. "make check" precedes "make install".

With 206 words in 1 message, the db size might not change from its minimum.

Each wordlist has a special token ".MSG_COUNT" which gives the number of 
messages registered in that wordlist.  bogoutil has "-w dirname" for 
displaying .MSG_COUNT for spamlist.db and goodlist.db in the named 
directory.  Command "bogoutil -w . .MSG_COUNT" will display the counts for you.

I'll take a look at the spammail.
