I think the thing to do is to patiently keep training. Bogofilter trains
on the whole message, including headers, not just the message body, and
eventually it will pick up on originating IP address and the like.
Unless every single one of these emails comes from a different PC,
never duplicated, Bogofilter will get them in time,
