The mailfilter seems to a nice application. Personally I find that
split-fancy can do much of the same for me.

My mail is splitted into folders, and everything that doesn't fit
anywhere are put in a nnfolder named mail.main. The following (ugly
looking) lines in my .gnus make sure that everytime i open mail.main
all unread mails in this folder are marked as expirable.

(defun my-expire-mail-main () (interactive)
  (if (string-match  "mail.main" gnus-newsgroup-name)
     (dolist (article gnus-newsgroup-unreads)
      (setq gnus-newsgroup-unreads (delq article gnus-newsgroup-unreads))
      (push article  gnus-newsgroup-expirable)
      )
))
(add-hook 'gnus-summary-generate-hook 'my-expire-mail-main)

FWIW, I use the spam(c|d) client/server pair, which is much quicker
here.

spamassassin and gnus

[Hadron Quark]

I have spamc talking to spamd and procmail then moving spam to special
spam folders depending on the newly added spamassassin headers.

How to mark mail as not spam though?

e.g I get soemthing like:

===================
Spam detection software, running on the system "local", has
identified this incoming email as possible spam.  The original message
has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label
similar future email.  If you have any questions, see
the administrator of that system for details.

=============================================

I seem unable to find documentation on how to alter this and mark mails
as spam and not spam inside the gnus interface.

It's done with marks.  You can set up custom marks for spam and ham;
by default there's only one spam mark ($), while ham has several
marks.  `G c' on any group will show you the list of marks, which you
can customize per group/topic or with gnus-parameters.

As for driving SA to do the right thing, if you use the spam.el SA
backend, it will pick the options properly for you.  If you do it
manually, you probably want to use the sa-learn script on the
messages.
