Hi David,

Would you please explain how you get that to work correctly?  When I set up bogofilter on my system, I found (if I recall correctly) that sendmail was running processes called from ~/.procmailrc with the permissions of the user receiving the mail.  Since bogofilter -u was, in effect, being run by all users I thought I had to chmod 666 the wordlists.  In fact, I couldn't get it to work until I did.
