spam.el puts mail into bogus group

spam.el puts mail into bogus group

[calmar]

Hi, 
I have installed spam.el a few days ago, and I'm not able to
handle it really.

What I did is the following:

,----[ into my gnus.el ]
| (require 'spam)
| (setq
|  nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy
|  nnmail-split-fancy '(|
| 		      (: spam-split)
| 		        "INBOX")
|  )
`----
then a customize-group <RET> spam <RET>
there I choosed the standart settings unless that I disabled `use
 dig' actually,
and that I toggled the `use blackholes'

That's all I did.

The `split-group' variable is set to `spam'.

So why are there errors while receiving the mails (error in
fancy-splitting --> use bogus group (or similar))?

Thanks for any hint

I had the same problem.  On my system dig was not working, so I need to
set spam-use-dig to nil which forces DNS (which does work).

At least when I use the blacklist, the mails properly goes into
the spam group.

I'm glad you found the problem.  Please consider submitting a gnus-bug
or including your settings manually next time, it's very hard to tell
what the problem is without your settings.

Thanks
