Okay, not so great. Now it's letting everything through.

For example, this message:

X-Bogosity: Spam, tests=bogofilter, spamicity=1.000000, version=0.94.4

...was classified correctly, but did not go to $MAILDIR/spam-bogofilter as per:

# filter mail through bogofilter, tagging it as spam and
# updating the wordlist

:0fw
| bogofilter -e -p


# if bogofilter failed, return the mail to the queue, the MTA will
# retry to deliver it later
# 75 is the value for EX_TEMPFAIL in /usr/include/sysexits.h

:0e
{ EXITCODE=75 HOST }


# file the mail to spam-bogofilter if it's spam.

:0:
* ^X-Bogosity: Yes, tests=bogofilter
$MAILDIR/spam-bogofilter

despite the cutoff being:

spam_cutoff= 0.99

I'm still missing something, but for the life of me I can't see what it is.
