How to correct Bogofilter wrong decisions

Yesterday I installed Bogofilter to a new installation of
Slackware 12, I have 
canceled the one address which did get spam, so only had
about four emails 
that were spam for it to see, today it has decide that a
perfectly legitimate 
post to me is spam, and now it has decided that emails from
the Bogofilter 
mailing lists are spam. I know where the data base is, how
do I correct its 
mistakes, do I just keep on changing the 'spam' 'not spam'
classifications 
until it learns?

Hello J.R.,

Have you read the bogofilter man page and the FAQ?  They
have all the
info you need -- notably how to train bogofilter (with
multiple ham and
spam messages -- the more the better) and how to correct
mistakes.

Your message doesn't specify how many ham and spam you used
for
training.  The more training you do, the better bogofilter
will be able
to classify messages!

When first using bogofilter, errors in classification are
inevitable.
You'll have to use options "-n" and "-s"
to expand bogofilter's
knowledge of what's right and what's wrong.

HTH,

David
