Use regular expressions (it's in the combo together with "contains" and "does not contain": ^OT:?|OT:?$ You can paste this in kregexpeditor in order to see what it does. Then make sure the filter to filter this is processed after the bogofilter one is (the arrows below the filter list allow you to). Also make sure that mails catched by your bogofilter rule are not processed by any other filters (check "If this filter matches, stop processing here", Advanced tab).
