spam and imap

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello 

I am reading my mail via nnimap, using the configuration.
(setq gnus-select-method (list 'nnimap "ucmail.ucm.es"))
(ognus-0.24)

Is there any possibility to use an anti-spam filter (for imap)?

Thanks

Hello 

thanks for answer, I did install the latest snapshot and 
cared about the hooks, so my setting is (due to the new manual):

(setq
		 nnimap-split-rule  'nnimap-split-fancy 
		 nnimap-split-inbox "INBOX" 
		 nnimap-split-fancy  '(|
							   (: spam-split)
							   ;; default mailbox 
							   "mymail")) 
 (setq spam-use-BBDB-exclusive  t)
 (setq spam-use-BBDB t)
(require  'spam) ;this has to be placed there.

It started to work.

The imap server had already a imap directory called mail, hence I
have chosen "mymail"

Then in worked like charm, that is the ham mail is moved to the mymail
folder (group) the  spam mail to  the  spam folder  (group). 
The only inconvenience is that I configure always my groups such that
they are always visible and that all messages are displayed. In the
imap case this lead to 
So
       461: nnimap+ucmail.ucm.es:mymail
        98: nnimap+ucmail.ucm.es:spam have been created.
    458: mymail 

a little confusing I'd say, but this seems to be a problem with gnus
way of dealing with imap groups. I asked about this in a different mail.


However 2 question occur to me:

1. The splitting is necessary and essential, I cannot keep my ham mail
   in the imap inbox and move only the spam to the spam folder
   (group)?
2.  The variables which appears in the customise buffer as

* Destination for spam-processed articles at summary exit: [Value Menu] Expire
Where spam-processed articles will go at summary exit.

Do I understand correctly this is thought for splitting (moving)
already classified mail further?


Thanks again, now thanks to spam.el I can breath again.
