Hi. This is perfectly fine. :)

Yeah, I noticed that issue with that script as well. There is a thread from a while ago where I promised to get that script heavily updated and haven't finished it yet.
If you only declare the type and don't initialize it there then do the call to bloomfilter_basic_init in a bro_init handler it should work.
So, while I was in the middle of writing this email, I went ahead and finished the smtp-url.bro script. This is very similar to Aashish's smtp-embedded-url-bloom.bro script but has been very lightly tested. I'd appreciate feedback from anyone that decides to run it. :)
I put the script into the "official" external Bro scripts repository:
