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! -- ( http://hem.bredband.net/steverud/ !
