Sure it does.  That filter "bogofilter check" _just_ sets X-bogosity (and
adds the data to the bogofilter database).  The "Spam handling" filter acts
on the X-bogosity value.

Beats me why it would be in front, but it can't identify anything as spam
unless it comes after the X-bogosity header is added - which is done in the
"bogofilter check" filter.
