Hi Tayfun,

It's likely not too hard for bogofilter to cache some more info about
the message and make it available via the formatting mechanism.  I'm
thinking of additional format specifications:

   I - ip address
   F - From: address

And you could then change your bogofilter.cf file to include:

  log_header_format = %h: %c, spamicity=%p, version=%v, ipaddr=%I,
fromaddr=%F

Sound reasonable?

P.S.  If memory serves, bogofilter has been processing spam in Turkey
for a while.  I'm quite sure there have been other messages from Turkey
on this list.
