Its not bogofilter that I know of, spamassassin (spamc/spamd) in use here. 
I have 3 folders for its use. Ham and Spam for the obvious sa-learn 
reasons, and JunqueMail for the results.  And I haven't had an FP in 
weeks.  Some of the one & two liners from the pron folks get thru but 
thats about it.
