Rodney,

The command above is telling bogofilter to register all the messages in "1 
mailbox".  Mailbox format includes a "^From " separator line at the 
beginning of each message.  Do you have these?

If not, you can use bulk mode - "ls oldspam/* | bogofilter -b -svvv" (with 
appropriate path).  If bash complains that the command line is too long, 
you'll need to use "find oldspam -type f" to generate the file list.  If 
you have multiple folders, each containing a mailbox formatted file, the 
mailboxes can be given to bogofilter one at a time to incrementatlly build 
the spamlist.db file.

Hope this helps :-)

David
