Could you do some kind of test against percentage of known to unknown
words from a dictionary file (most *nix installs have one, mine is
/usr/share/dict/words)?

I'm guessing with some time a little bit shell/perl scripting you could
possibly come up with something.

Alternatively, you could feed a second bogofilter wordlist.db the
dictionary file _AS_SPAM_, then use that second install of bogofilter to
detect a message as spam (with a custom .conf file too), if it does then
its OK to go through.
