Hi Adam,

Redirection, i.e. "<", works only for files.  It does not work for
directories. 

The "-I" (input) option can be used to name a single input source (file
or directory).  The "-B" (bulk mode) option can be used to specify
multiple input sources.

Using '-v' (verbose) is also recommended.  It will give you some
information about what happens, which is useful for verifying that
the command you typed did what you want.

For example,

  bogofilter -s -v -B msg.1 msg.2 msg.3

will print a line of form

  # 137 words, 3 messages

HTH,

David
