I can see the value in having different groups (even the same group) processed
with  different spam processors, but not the ability for a given processor to
handle a group's ham but not spam. ie, why would I want bogofilter to progress
a group's ham but not spam.  Surely a more general 'feed everything in this
group to bogofilter (and/or whatever) would be easier to understand.

BTW, this is what happened to me.  For a week or so I all of my spam being sent
to bogofilter, but none of the ham, and I was wondering what was going on!
