Sorry, this is actually "spam-check" and I've fixed it in spam.el.

It's the spam-check we use when registering or unregistering.  For
instance, the spam-use-bogofilter spam-check is associated like so in
spam-registration-functions:

  ;; first the ham register, second the spam register function
  ;; third the ham unregister, fourth the spam unregister function

    (spam-use-bogofilter spam-bogofilter-register-ham-routine
			 spam-bogofilter-register-spam-routine
			 spam-bogofilter-unregister-ham-routine
			 spam-bogofilter-unregister-spam-routine)

I realize I'm abusing spam-use-bogofilter to mean both "use
bogofilter" and "associate things with bogofilter" but it seems like
a better way than inventing new symbols every time.
