spam.el experiences

Hi,

I just tried using spam.el to make dealing with spam easier, but ran
into these problems:

* ifile. I have used ifile to classify my spam&ham; does marking an
  article with M-d also process it as a spam article in ifile?

* nnmail-split-methods. Before I had spam.el, I used

(setq nnmail-split-fancy `(|
			   (: ifile-spam-filter
                              (|
   			        (: nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent)
			        ;; special cases
                                (any  "plus-linux.de" "plus-linux.de")
			        (from "HQ.ACM.ORG" "acm")
			        (from ".*@sil.at" "Mailbox.sil")
			        (from "mailman-owner@.*" "mailman-reminders")
			        (to  "\\(srfi-.*\\)@srfi\\.schemers\\.org" "scheme.\\1")
			        (any  "\\(srfi-.*\\)@srfi\\.schemers\\.org" "scheme.\\1")
			        ("resent-from"  "srfi-37@srfi.schemers.org" "scheme.srfi-37")
			        ("resent-from"  "\\(srfi-.*\\)@srfi\\.schemers\\.org" "scheme.\\1")
			        (any  ".*@bugs.debian.org" "debian-bugs")
			        ;; mine
			        (any ,gnus-ignored-from-addresses "Mailbox")
			        ;; group parameter splitting
			        (: gnus-group-split-fancy nil t nil)
			        ;;
			        "Mailbox.misc"))

Now, I use:

      nnmail-split-fancy `(|
			   (: spam-split)
			   (: nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent)
			   ;; special cases
			   (any  "plus-linux.de" "plus-linux.de")
			   (from "HQ.ACM.ORG" "acm")
			   (from ".*@sil.at" "Mailbox.sil")
			   (from "mailman-owner@.*" "mailman-reminders")
			   (to  "\\(srfi-.*\\)@srfi\\.schemers\\.org" "scheme.\\1")
			   (any  "\\(srfi-.*\\)@srfi\\.schemers\\.org" "scheme.\\1")
			   ("resent-from"  "srfi-37@srfi.schemers.org" "scheme.srfi-37")
			   ("resent-from"  "\\(srfi-.*\\)@srfi\\.schemers\\.org" "scheme.\\1")
			   (any  ".*@bugs.debian.org" "debian-bugs")
			   ;; to me
			   (any ,gnus-ignored-from-addresses "Mailbox")
			   ;; group parameter?
			   (: gnus-group-split-fancy nil t nil)
			   ;; 
			   "Mailbox.misc")

IMHO, these should act identical, but they don't. In fact, I get errors
every time I try to get new mails: "Error in `nnmail-split-methods';
using `bogus' mail group". I tracked the error down as far as I could,
and found out that somewhere down there, an apply gets called with only
one argument. I didn't dare remove the condition-case statement from
nnmail.el:1043, for fear of mail loss.

Is there anything wrong with my configuration or can I make this
portion of code more debugable? 

Thanks,
