Hi,

This post is a request for people who use spam.el and for whom it works.

Here is why I think we should produce a tutorial for this package.

After tons of tries and setups I am still not satisfied with the way my
spam is detected even with lots of training.

Spam.el sounds really cool but according to many people I have been
talking with, spam.el is way far from being simple to understand and so
to setup.

Even clever people I know, they are good at emacs lisp, agree with the
fact, you, Ted, have produced such an awesome and complex code, that
even them can't really understand :)

This results in having people totally lost (like I am) because of the so
different way we can all manage spam.el to work.

So I think a tutorial is something useful to show people different way
to set all things up. The most important thing is to show people a
maximum of different setup according to way you, gnus users, read your
mails.

So this covers customize and plain emacs lisp setup. I mean there is a
big hit on the fact some people (like me) are totally lost(or doesn't
like) customize stuff and prefer doing their own receipt.

So I think, if people can post here, in this thread, the portion of
their own spam.el setup, would be a good start to produce a final
document. Posting emacs lisp with comments explaining users choice is
higly recommended though. 

Note that if people have used the customize interface (like I did), it
would be interesting to explain also what is the result of such
settings (where goes spam, where does ham is processed, ...).

Any opinion ?

P.S: if this topic is serious (that is if there are posters), I can
then take the stuff and write the final document.
