C-h v spam-split-groups
will tell you where they got split to. 

I'm not exactly sure how that works on nnml, but on
nnimap, it puts it in a group.   
nnimap+my.isp.com:spam

Once you find that group you should customize it (G c in the *Group*
buffer).

I don't know how you are splitting for spam.  I use bogofilter, and it
was overzealous for the first few days.  You need to train it by
marking spam as spam and non-spam as non-spam in a group that will run
it through bogofilter when it closes.  After a couple of weeks it
starts to magically work.  

You will find good documentation in the spam section of the
gnus info file.

Cheers,  Jody
