Hello Belette,

This isn't really a bogofilter-dev question.  It's more a usage
question and belongs on the bogofilter list.  That aside,

The 3 numbers are the spam count, ham count, and date last modified.

Bogofilter only changes the database when you register a message, so
dates only show changes.  If bogofilter updated the database whenever
you scored a message, your hard drive would be much busier than
is necessary.

Compacting your wordlist might be all you need to do.  Script
bf_compact can do that for you or you can do it with:

   bogoutil -d wordlist.db | bogoutil -l wordlist.db.new
   mv wordlist.db wordlist.db.old
   mv wordlist.db.new wordlist.db

This trio of commands assumes you're _not_ using transactions.  If
you're using transactions, the new wordlist needs to be in a new
directory (so the log files have a home).  It's easier to use
bf_compact.

Home this helps!
