Gmane spam reporting

Gmane spam reporting

[Štěpán Němec]

Hello,

I have this in my .gnus.el:

  (spam-initialize)
  (setq gnus-spam-process-newsgroups
        '(("^gmane\\." (spam spam-use-gmane))))

But what I see in *Messages* after exiting Gmane groups is just the same
as with any other group:

  Exiting summary buffer and applying spam rules
  Registering 1 specific articles as spam using backend spam-use-move
  1 spam messages were registered by backend spam-use-move.

Why is `spam-use-gmane' not used? What am I missing?


Thanks in advance for any pointers,

Štěpán

Ah, now I remember having been confused about the same thing. You know,
there are actually three nested lists in the CDR of that item:

    ("^gmane\\." . (((spam spam-use-gmane))))

It would seem that one level is unnecessary.

Bingo! Changing the above to

  (setq gnus-spam-process-newsgroups
        '(("^gmane\\." ((spam spam-use-gmane)))))

did it, thanks!

Two pointers:

Is the Gmane server actually your primary select method?  If it isn't,
the group regexp doesn't match because of the prefix.  E.g.,
"^nntp\\+news\\.gmane\\.org"

Last time I configured the spam package, it wanted a /list/ of
processors instead.  I used group parameters to configure it though, so
this might not be the case here.
