Hmm, spam.el assumes a single incoming point (with spam-split).  Have
you tried making nnimap-split-inbox a list of strings?  That would
defeat your procmail splitting, of course.

Well, I was thinking of a 'respool spam/ham process destination, as
suggested before, which would resubmit the spam/ham mail to the spool
process from any mailbox.  Would that work for you?

I think it would be easier in the end to keep splitting on the client
side with spam.el.
