Bogofilter Behaviour on encountering error is unacceptable.

This is dangerous since if you have a large number of users, it is likely that there will be times when the wordlist files are missing. The behaviour that I am expecting is that it should just pass the entire message without doing anything on it.

Then integrate bogofilter properly with the rest of your system.
In such situations, bogofilter will exit with error code 3 which you can
test for and handle accordingly, such as push the message back to the
mailserver's queue or retrieve the unfiltered message or do things like
that. This is not a bogofilter bug.
