Cool, that would be a good way to do it.  If you set this up, maybe you can
forward the details of doing so for possible inclusion in the FAQ.
Bogofilter is generally used on the server-side, but I'd imagine there are
others looking for a client-side solution too.

If you can call bogofilter directly from kmail, there would be no need
(unless you have a static IP and want to host your own domain and email for
that domain).  If you did want to do so, it's not terribly difficult.
There's no reason you couldn't do it from a laptop.  You'd have to consult
the appropriate documentation/lists/forums for that software for help.  It's
definitely overkill for a single-user client though.
