Is this because you use the -u option on all email? I found that using
-u damaged my wordlist.db very quickly. So quickly I went back to not
using it. 

The system I use here (only 2 users, but about 200 emails, 200 spam per
day) is to check all email at the server on the way in with just the -p
option. False positives (about 2 or 3 a day) are redirected to a ham@
account (which does the update). Spam that gets through (about 4 a day)
goes to spam at . The wordlist.db is about 2.5 meg. I tried using the -u
method and the spam started to flood in as well as false positives. 

Anyway, thats how I use bogofilter and its great.
