Hoi Rick,

the scanning is flat; bogofilter (src/bogoreader.c is the code in
question) just scans through the .../new and .../cur subdirectories, and
only checks regular files (!) in those. .../tmp and other subdirectories
are ignored, .../tmp is a staging area for Maildir writers (which
bogofilter is not), and others are just skipped.

Where have you been looking for this information, should I add it to a
manual page?
Where would you expect to see this information?
