CE>         Bogofilter uses a database directory, which can be set in the config

CE>         BOGOFILTER_DIR. Both can be overridden by the -d dir option. If none of

CE>  Hm, the behaviour I get is very much like:

CE>  If not set in a config file, bogofilter-dir will be set "as defined in the
CE>  bogofilter source code" _regardless_ of what the BOGOFILTER_DIR environment
CE>  says.

CE>  i.e., BOGOFILTER_DIR never overrides bogofilter-dir - unless when
CE>  manually set before invocation.

In short, to avoid this on MacOS, it is advisable to source .bashrc
within .bash_profile to ensure consistent behavior across shell
sessions.

Please look into Bash configuration files on MacOS.

Best Regards.
