The latest spam.el releases have spam autodetection that works with
NNTP.  Basically when you enter a group (any group - it works with
other backends too) the spam-autodetect spam checks will be done and
articles that get flagged will get the spam mark.  The exit-time
processing is same as usual, except that articles will never be moved,
only copied out.

I use this a LOT with Gmane groups, which have their own special spam
check, and it's made my life a lot easier.  emacs-devel, especially,
gets way too much spam to be useful without this filtering.

I don't see spam in gmane.emacs.devel since I filter on
gmane.spam.detected using leafnode.  This should work for Gnus:

,----
| (("xref"
|   ("gmane.spam.detected" -1000 nil s))
|  (mark-and-expunge -900))
`----

Is there a special reason why you don't filter in this way?

Bye, Reiner.

I'll gladly take contributions and add them to the manual.  I'd rather
have N diverse real-world examples (of which I can obviously provide
just one) than M made-up examples from me, therefore I need to get
people's configurations in order to put them in the manual.
