I would suspect that putting the path to mv in the postscript call. eg
'/bin/mv' or the like.

I've installed the newest Gnus and read the sections about spam in
the manual.  (Very difficult stuff I must say.)

Anyway, I still like SpamAssasin's method most.  Unfortunately a
search in Gnus' sources didn't show any implicit connection with
SpamAssassin.  The manual still claims that the snippet from my
original posting works, however it doesn't.

Can it be my rather odd backend (nnfolder)?

Tschoe,
Torsten.

Alternatively, how can I achieve in general that Gnus fetches my
mail, sends it through Spam Assassin and splits it in my split
routine?  The Spam Assassin daemon spamd is active.

Tschoe,
Torsten.
