Caution: If upgrading from an old version and skipping several
intervening versions of bogofilter, be smart and verify that the new
version is working for you before putting it into production.
Bogofilter's developers recommend that you run a few manual command
line tests.  Use options, config files, and wordlists from your
production environment.  This will help ensure that the new version of
bogofilter is working properly.
