Press 'S x' on the misclassified (false-negative) mail; when you exit
the group, it will be refiled to your spam group (and not processed as
ham).  If something is misclassified as a false positive, the best
thing I've found to do is to mark the article as unread ('M SPC') and
then move it to the real group.  (It'd be nice if it called
gnus-summary-respool-article for ham articles in spam groups in a way
that spam-split did nothing and returned nil.)
