Unfortunately, maildrop doesn't seem to support a shared wordlist.
With procmail, I can use "bogofilter -pelu" (for auto-updating), and
have my wordlist in /var/spool/bogofilter/ and it works fine.  I
couldn't do that with maildrop, which is a shame because the syntax of
the maildroprc file is very nice.
