I looked into `spam.el', but I'm not sure where to include the check.
I think we could make a test like this one.  WDYT?

(when (string-match "^bogofilter version 0\\.\\([0-9]\\|1[01]\\)\\."
                    (shell-command-to-string "bogofilter -V"))
  (error "`spam.el' doesnt support obsoleted bogofilter versions"))

Slightly tested with...

$ bogofilter -V
bogofilter version 0.16.4
    Database: BerkeleyDB (4.2.52)

[...]

$ bogofilter -V

bogofilter version 0.10.3.1

[...]

Bye, Reiner.
