Using spam.el to report spam to gmane

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@golden-gryphon.com>]

Hi,

        I use Gnus to read a fair amount of mailing lists via
 NNTP/gmane, and I'd like to gent involved in helping  report spam to
 gmane. I have been trying to use spam.el to do so. Since I have a large
 number of mailing lists, I did not want to use `G P' on every group, so
 I wanted to just set the corresponding variables in my gnusrc
 file. Unfortunately, the documentation present is not up to the task of
 unconfusing me.

	I added this to my gnusrc:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-spam-autodetect-methods
      '(
        (".*" . (spam-use-blacklist
                 spam-use-BBDB
                 ;;spam-use-bogofilter
                 spam-use-gmane-xref))
        ))              ;default
(setq gnus-spam-autodetect '(("^nntp.*" . t)
                             ("^gmane\\." .t)
                             ("^nnml:\\(debian-.*\\)$" . t)))

(setq gnus-spam-process-newsgroups
      '(("^nntp+news.gmane.org" ((spam spam-use-gmane)))
        ("^gmane\\."            ((gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-report-gmane)))
        (".*" nil)                      ;test
        ))

;; Since the above did not seem to do anything, try this
(add-to-list
 'gnus-parameters
 '("^gmane\\."
   (spam-autodetect-methods spam-use-gmane-xref spam-use-gmane spam-use-BBDB)
   (spam-autodetect . t)
   (spam-process (gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-report-gmane))
   ))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

        As you can see, thre is some duplication here, as I tried to get
 this to work.  It seems to properly recognize spam; ao the
 spam-atuodetect part is right.  But while sniffing my network traffic
 while leaving a group where I had marked articles as spam, no report
 was sent to gmane.

        What am I doing wrong? Is the spam reporting deferred in some
 way? Do I need to take additional action?
