Hello Dominique,

Individualized filtering isn't hard.  All it takes is lots of disk
space (so each user can have his own wordlist).

The special address technique for correcting errors can be implemented
quite easily with procmail or maildrop.  As a rough design, the
following would work for user 'test':

 wordlist.db would be in directory /home/test/.bogofilter/

 /home/test/.procmailrc would recognize addresses
 test+FN at yourdomain.com and test+FP at yourdomain.com and run bogofilter
 with -s or -n flags.

Hope this helps,

David
