I donno how you integrated bogofilter in your setup but if you utilize something
like procmail you can use a black- and whitelist in front of bogofilter. E.g.

DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/new
WHITELIST=$PROCMAILDIR/whitelist.txt
BLACKLIST=$PROCMAILDIR/blacklist.txt
### clasic white- and blacklist ###
:0
* ? test -f $WHITELIST
* ? formail -x"From" -x"From:" -x"Sender:" -x"Reply-To:" -x"Return-Path:" -x"To:" | egrep -is -f $WHITELIST
$DEFAULT

:0
* ? test -f $BLACKLIST
* ? formail -x"From" -x"From:" -x"Sender:" -x"Reply-To:" -x"Return-Path:" -x"To:" | egrep -is -f $BLACKLIST
/dev/null
