Welcome Manvendra,

The "--prefix" option tells where to install the executables,
documentation, etc.  It is not used in finding either the config file or
the wordlist.

To have bogofilter in /var/sifymail/etc, you can configure with
"--sysconfdir=/var/sifymail/etc" or you can run bogofilter with argument
"-c /var/sifymail/etc/bogofilter.cf"

To have wordlist.db in /var/sifymail/etc, you can include
"bogofilter_dir=/var/sifymail/etc" in your bogofilter.cf file or you can
run bogofilter with argument "-d /var/sifymail/etc"
