Subject: Configuring spam.el: A few questions
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2004 11:05:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2ekr95qu8.fsf@c-a85372d5.036-4-67626721.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se> (raw)


Hello. I'm still working on my spam.el config and there are a few
topic I have some difficulties to understand (I don't want to do 'trial
and error' since loosing emails are not an option):

I have a set up of a lot of nnfolders and one is the spam group,
nnfolder:Spam. I want all spam found during splitting to end up in
this group:

At the top topic ('Email') I have the topic property:
((spam-process-destination . "nnfolder:Spam"))

The Spam-group is part of this topic.

I want all spam I detect in the other groups to be marked as spam
(i.e. I will set the spam mark) and then it should be sent to
bogofilter and then deleted.

As I've understood it, all spam marked mails will be moved to the
Spam-group due to the topic parameter above, but then? I enter the
group every now and then. But I don't quite understand how I tell
spam.el to train bogofilter on the content of nnfolder:Spam. What I'm
slightly afraid of is that Gnus ends up in an infinite loop and moves
the content of nnfolder:Spam to the nnfolder:Spam folder.

I assume I have to set spam-move-spam-nonspam-groups-only to t to
prevent this, right?


If I've understood it correctly, if I set the group parameters of
nnfolder:Spam to
     ((spam-contents gnus-group-spam-classification-spam))
everything will work as expected, i.e. bogofilter is trained on the
contents of nnfolder:Spam and the content is not moved anywhere,
right?

I will not use spam-autodetect since I only receive emails (as I said
earlier I do not read USENET any longer) and I use fancy splitting.

What I quite don't follow is how I tell Gnus/spam.el to delete all
spam it has found.

There are two potential scenarios that I would find acceptable:

1. Any found spam is moved to nnfolder:Spam and then trained when I
   enter and exit that group and then deleted.

2. Any found spam during splitting goes to nnfolder:Spam and it is
   treated as above. Any spam I find in any other group which I mark
   as spam (with gnus-summary-mark-as-spam) is then processed by
   bogofilter as spam and then deleted. I.e. never moved to any other group.

Anyone that would like to spread some light?  :-)

Thank you.

/Jonas
