I see what I did, I missed the else part of the if - I thought it was
just the 'if'.  Oops.

I'm not sure what other way to provide.  You can already do it  by
regex (which should be able to do an exception).  How would you
suggest handling your case?  A function hook?

By the way, I think that if you set the spam group's contents to spam,
it will override a global regex of ham for "nnml.*" - have you tried
that?
