Just seconds after I posted my email, I came across the very same blog.

Scary, isn't it?

He, he, he. Truly, I'm not expecting others to accommodate me and my
code.

I see Mail::Decency::ContentFilter::Bogofilter  on CPAN, and it gets a 1

bogofilter is installed on my Debian laptop already, so thanks for that.
I'll investigate it now...
