Welcome to the world of Bogofilter!

Out of the box, bogofilter uses very conservative cutoff values for ham
and spam.  You should be able to find them in /etc/bogofilter.cf (or
similarly named file -- dependent on your distro).  

You can look at the X-Bogosity scores of your spam and your ham and
select new ham_cutoff and spam_cutoff values to reduce the number of
unsures.  

Of course, if you set spam_cutoff too low, then some ham will get
classified as spam. 

HTH,

David
