Brian,
Sounds like you have a bad value for spam_cutoff. Try using the "-qv"
options to run the query_config() function and display the parameters
bogofilter is using. To see bogofilter's default parameters, run
"bogofilter -C -qv" (which will _not_ read any config file). Run
"bogofilter -qv" to see the parameters _after_ the config file has been read.
0.11.1 is doing a more thorough job of validating config file parameters no
longer accepts an 'f' at the end of a double precision value. This _could_
be the problem. Options "-x c -v" will display the level 1 debug messages
for the config file processing code. Options "-x c -vv" will display level
2 messages, etc.
I've started the 0.11.1.1 build which has some refinements in the verbosity
levels for the config file code. Grab it tomorrow (Thursday) and run the
tests.
If the above techniques don't reveal the problem, post the output of the
above commands to the list.
David
