The numbers 312870 and 1 indicate that 312870 spam messages and 1 ham message have been registered. The value 312870 is reasonable while the value 1 seems unreasonably low. FWIW, "bogoutil -d wordlist.db > wordlist.txt" will dump your wordlist as a text file. Each line has a token, its spam and ham counts, and a timestamp. .MSG_COUNT's "good" value _should_ be greater than any ham count. It might be time to start a new wordlist and register all the ham and spam you have available. I'd also recommend backing up your wordlist periodically in case of future problems. Lastly, switching from NON-TRANSACTIONAL bogofilter to TRANSACTIONAL bogofilter will provide a more secure database environment.
