Hello Florian,

Bogofilter has no way to recognize repeated training.  Being
able to recognize already trained messages would require knowing what
messages are in the database.  Bogofilter has no knowledge of messages
(as such).  It only knows tokens and their ham and spam counts.

When you repeat training, bogofilter repeatedly updates the
tokens counts, i.e. increasing them for the -n and -s switches and
decreasing them for -N and -S.

HTH,

David
