My suggestion for you is to tell procmail to run all mail through bogofilter. You can tell bogofilter to add a header saying whether the mail is spam. Then you can just do header-based splitting, either from procmail or from nnmail-split-methods. If you decide to use the fancy spam.el thing, then you'll need to migrate to nnmail-split-fancy, and to tell spam.el to split according to bogofilter headers. You can do that by setting spam-use-bogofilter-headers to t. Now the remaining problem is to train bogofilter. To do this, invoke G c on the groups/topics involved and set the "spam exit processor" to "bogofilter". Also, invoke G c on the spam group and tell it that the "ham exit processor" is also bogofilter. Kai
