Hi John,

Have you looked at bogofilter's FAQ?  It suggests googling for
"bogofilter +kmail".  I gave it a try and there seemed to be a
number of useful hits.  Unfortunately as I don't use kmail I can't
tell whether the hits are accurate or not.

I presume you've verified that your bogofilter installation is able to
classify messages, i.e. commands like:

   bogofilter -v < ham.msg
   bogofilter -v < spam.msg

Assuming these commands produce reasonable results then bogofilter is
working and all that's needed is configuration for kmail.

As you've probably discovered, bogofilter's "doc" directory has
documents like integrating-with-postfix and integrating-with-qmail.  If,
once you get things working, you care to write-up what you've done,
I'd be glad to integrating-with-kmail!

HTH,

David
