Karl,

The default installation of bogofilter is for a single user and uses
$HOME/.bogofilter for the wordlist.  /var/spool/bogofilter is an
alternate location that is suggested for multi-user, shared wordlists.
It is not the default.

If you look in bogofilter.cf.example, you'll find the following explanation and settings:

*** Begin Explanation ***

# Default settings (as defined in the bogofilter source code) 
# have a single hash mark at the beginning of the line.

# Alternate values have two hash marks.

*** End Explanation ***


*** Begin Settings ***

#### BOGOFILTER_DIR
#
#	directory for wordlists
#
#bogofilter_dir=~/.bogofilter
##bogofilter_dir=/var/spool/bogofilter

### End Settings ***
