I understand.

My initial issue is with the obvious spams not being detected first time 
round.
The first I see of them is in my inbox as ham - despite being so obviously 
spam.

If I save the email and run it through bogofilter -vvv, I get the results I 
posted.

I then use bogofilter -Ns to "fix" the database and this seems to work - until 
the next spam with the same pattern but from a different source arrives.
(bogofilter -vvv at this stage gives bogosity of 1.0).

I have changed my min-dev, robx and robs to 0.35, 0.7, 0.1 but first 
indications are that this is not enough.
