Good point.

Btw, spammers will definitely start (if haven't yet) using X-Bogosity
header with faked entries. Does -p overwrite it?

Nice, but costs CPU and disk. I think reregistering is not that common
and it can be made easy with proper mail client programming. Like in mutt,
when in bogospam folder, 'U' means '|bogofilter -N', while elsewhere
'|bogofilter -S' :)
