Im starting to think the problem isnt with my wordlist.  I exported  
some emails that were flagged as spam before Monday, and used  
bogofilter -vv email to get their score and see if bogofilter would  
score them as spammy:

looks ok.  The top two emails are very spammy (viagra, etc), the last  
one is a newsletter from Coldwater Creek which Im sure someone signed  
up to recieve.  So this looks good.  I wonder if permissions got hosed  
somehow on my wordlist.  I'll check some other things and see what is  
up.

thanks for the info,
