That's odd that it would have changed classification by sending it to 
yourself over and over again.  If anything, your own headers should be 
hammy.  Yes, I'm assuming that bogofilter scanned it each time.  With 
bfproxy, you want to put the script in front of bogofilter and not run 
bogofilter if it matched a bfproxy address.  You have to read the 
documentation in bfproxy to understand how that works.  I'm not sure you 
can even do it with Kmail.

Sorry, I simply don't have the time.  I encourage you to research it on 
your own though.
