Our computing center has set up bogofilter on the server (IMAP) [1].
Recognized spam goes to "Spam/spamblock", the rest thru the normal
filter rules or to INBOX.  Training on false positives or negatives is
done by copying or moving the article to "bayes/ham" or "bayes/spam".
A cron job on the server feeds those to bogofilter with the suitable
ham/spam options and deletes them.

With the following entries in `gnus-parameters', `spam.el' does most
of the job for me:

   ("nnimap.*:Spam/spamblock"
    (ham-process-destination . "nnimap+urz:bayes/ham")
    (spam-contents gnus-group-spam-classification-spam))
   ("nnimap.*:\\(INBOX\\|...\\)"
    (spam-process-destination . "nnimap+urz:bayes/spam")
    (spam-contents gnus-group-spam-classification-ham))

BTW, is there a simple way to tell `spam.el' to put ham articles from
"Spam/spamblock" to both, "bayes/ham" _and_ "INBOX"?  I.e. probably
first copy the article to the first group and then move it to the
second.

Bye, Reiner.
