(I do not have any group or topic parameters). Hi, spam.el will just mark the articles as expired when you exit the group. So the rest of the work is done by Gnus, which has built-in intelligence regarding article expiry. You need to look in the manual for that info, it's not too complicated. Another possibility is that right now, the spam/ham-process-destination can be one of these: - nil ("leave spam in the group, expired") - 'respool ("send back to the split method"--this is for ham) - one or more groups (copy to N-1 groups, move to the last one) I could add a 'delete option, which would just delete whatever articles match, if 'respool or group names are not specified. So you wouldn't use it for ham-process-destination probably, but it could make sense for spam-process-destination. Let me know if you need that, rather than using the normal Gnus expiry process. Ted p.s. I use the word "expiry" because Gnus uses it a lot. I don't know if "expiration" is more appropriate, but just keep it in mind if you do an M-x apropos :)
