How to configure the spam mailbox

How to configure the spam mailbox

[Jake Colman]

As bogofilter gets trained it is starting to file articles directly into the
spam mailbox.  How should this box be configured?  Is it already set up to be
auto-expired?  Or do I have to do that myself?  Do I have set any spam
variables in the group's config?  I'd assume not since spam.el already knows
that it is spam.  How do I tell spam.el and bogofilter that a message the
spam mailbox is really ham?

I do this - mostly using Groups-Customize:

1) Make sure that both gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-bogofilter and
   gnus-group-ham-exit-processor-bogofilter are set.
2) I set Destination for ham articles to be my Inbox.
3) set Ham mark choices to what you feel is appropriate - I use
   gnus-read-mark and gnus-ticked mark.  
4) I set expire wait to immediate.  Umm, maybe thats dumb.  But it
   stops the spam in the group from being bogofiltered every time I
   exit it.  I don't think there is any reason to send a message to
   bogofilter more than once if you can help it.  Maybe the registry
   fixes this now.  
5) I set Total Expire for this group.

This works for me.  

Cheers,  Jody
