Use of NoCeM within Gnus

Use of NoCeM within Gnus

[Patrick Drechsler]

Hi,

NoCeM really does slow down Gnus. I'm mainly reading technically
oriented newsgroups. Is it worth the effort reducing spam? Are
there any people using this feature?

Thankful for any feedback

I don't think NoCeM is worth enabling (I tried it years ago, though).

You can try spam.el, which can do statistical filtering (and others)
on any Gnus groups, including newsgroups.  It can mark unseen messages
as spam, and send a copy of the spam to a training group and/or to a
reporting backend.

OK, thanks for the pointer!

Sounds interesting. After looking through the documentation I
will have to postpone this approach until I have some spare
time though.
