No, spam-use-bogofilter calls bogofilter for you (although for local
mail, spam-use-bogofilter-headers is also OK if you pre-process with
Bogofilter in the .procmailrc).

Your rules are OK.  The spam should be going to "nnml:spambox".  Does
a message get misclassified? Go to the message's buffer and do t M-:
(spam-split) (note that the 't' command is to show the full message in
the buffer).  Does that return the value of spam-split-group?  Also
try saving the message in a file and run bogofilter on it, to see if
it thinks the message is spam.

Also, this is obvious, but make sure that spam-bogofilter-path is
correct.  It should be automatically set to (find-executable "bogofilter").

Finally, note that (unfortunately) ham will be registered with
Bogofilter multiple times, I'll fix that when I get the registry
working.

Let me know if you need more help
