I don't understand the doc-string:

,----[ C-h v spam-use-gmane-xref RET ]
| spam-use-gmane-xref's value is nil
| 
| Documentation:
| Whether the Gmane spam xref should be used by `spam-split'.
`----

How are Gmane (_nntp_?) groups related to splitting of incoming mail?

,----[ C-h f spam-split RET ]
| spam-split is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `spam'.
| (spam-split &rest SPECIFIC-CHECKS)
| 
| Split this message into the `spam' group if it is spam.
| This function can be used as an entry in the variable `nnmail-split-fancy',
| for example like this: (: spam-split).  It can take checks as
| parameters.  A string as a parameter will set the
| spam-split-group to that string.
| 
| See the Info node `(gnus)Fancy Mail Splitting' for more details.

Bye, Reiner.
