David,
bogoutil -d /PATH_TO_WORDLIST/wordlist.db | wc -l shows 690546.  My  
original wordlist.txt that started my training from some years ago,  
scores 0 with bogofilter -e -p < wordlist.txt.  I do use a procmail  
script it hasnt changed in quite a while:
# send through bogofilter
:0HB:
* ? bogofilter  -l
/opt/bogofilter-spam/bogofilter-spam.

thanks,

ddh
