Correct, and the manual in CVS has been updated correspondingly.

The spam-process group parameter has a corresponding
gnus-spam-process-newsgroups variable you can customize; just put a
"nnml.*" regex in that variable to get global behavior for nnml
groups, or whatever's appropriate for you.

Also, if you use topics, you can customize the topic parameters, that
should work also if all your mail groups are under one topic.

spam-use-XYZ only relates to spam-split now, summary exit spam/ham
processing is always done with the spam-process group parameter.  This
is because the gnus-spam-process-newsgroups variable was, in my
opinion, sufficient and I didn't want to provide two ways of doing the
same thing.

If you think we should have a global variable corresponding to the old
spam-use-XYZ variable for summary exit processing, let me know.
