Rodney,

I think most of your 1-liners are in the FAQ.

'-d' dumps the wordlist and is a way of spotting problems (like words only 
through 'm' or loops, etc).  db_verify is a more definitive way of testing.

Means you haven't run "bogoutil -R" to scan your wordlists, compute a 
value, and save it in spamlist.db.  Bogofilter is perfectly content to use 
its default value or a value from bogofilter.cf.

Correct.

Takes an argument from the command line or from stdin (like bogoutil -w), 
then prints the counts and spam scores for them.

I don't have a list of 1-liners.  I create them as I need them.  Keep 
reading the mailing lists as I suspect others will show up over time.
