Let's not forget one of the more important ones: For us that cannot
use preprocessed mail, e.g. by Spamassasin (which is easy to use if
you can filter through procmail and then let Gnus fetch from a file),
because Gnus fetches the email from a POP server and then splits it.
I read the docs for using SA using :prescript/:postscript (or whatever
the parameters where) and I can't say it was an elegant solution.

Not all ISPs supplies spam filters for their customers...

(: spam-split) and spam.el is then very handy indeed! It also gives me
a easy mean of using several spamfilters and easily use BBDB as a
whitelist. Very nice!
