gnus: Detecting Spam in Groups

 
 9.17.3 Detecting Spam in Groups
 -------------------------------
 
 To detect spam when visiting a group, set the group’s ‘spam-autodetect’
 and ‘spam-autodetect-methods’ group parameters.  These are accessible
 with ‘G c’ or ‘G p’, as usual (SeeGroup Parameters).
 
    You should set the ‘spam-use-*’ variables for whatever spam back ends
 you intend to use.  The reason is that when loading ‘spam.el’, some
 conditional loading is done depending on what ‘spam-use-xyz’ variables
 you have set.
 
    By default, only unseen articles are processed for spam.  You can
 force Gnus to recheck all messages in the group by setting the variable
 ‘spam-autodetect-recheck-messages’ to ‘t’.
 
    If you use the ‘spam-autodetect’ method of checking for spam, you can
 specify different spam detection methods for different groups.  For
 instance, the ‘ding’ group may have ‘spam-use-BBDB’ as the autodetection
 method, while the ‘suspect’ group may have the ‘spam-use-blacklist’ and
 ‘spam-use-bogofilter’ methods enabled.  Unlike with ‘spam-split’, you
 don’t have any control over the _sequence_ of checks, but this is
 probably unimportant.
