Hello Juan,

This is a normal occurrence with a large database.  There's information
on it in the README.db file and in new versions of the FAQ,
http://www.bogofilter.org/faq.php.  You need to configure your
Berkeley DB environment, specifically create a DB_CONFIG file with a
larger lock count and then run 'bogoutil -f /path/to/your/wordlist.db'

Instead of the for loop, you can probably use bogofilter's "-B" option
for what you want.

Regards,

David
