Back then when I started with bogofilter I feed it with ~1000 collected spam 
mails and ~10000 good mails from lists and private mail. Since then I update 
it with the spam slipping through. That way I have reduced spam to currently 
2-5 a day.

You might train your filter with the archives of this list while you are 
admin. :-)
