gnus: Splitting mail using spam-stat

 
 9.17.8.2 Splitting mail using spam-stat
 .......................................
 
 This section describes how to use the Spam statistics _independently_ of
 the Spam Package.
 
    First, add the following to your ‘~/.gnus.el’ file:
 
      (require 'spam-stat)
      (spam-stat-load)
 
    This will load the necessary Gnus code, and the dictionary you
 created.
 
    Next, you need to adapt your fancy splitting rules: You need to
 determine how to use ‘spam-stat’.  The following examples are for the
 nnml back end.  Using the nnimap back end works just as well.  Just use
 ‘nnimap-split-fancy’ instead of ‘nnmail-split-fancy’.
 
    In the simplest case, you only have two groups, ‘mail.misc’ and
 ‘mail.spam’.  The following expression says that mail is either spam or
 it should go into ‘mail.misc’.  If it is spam, then
 ‘spam-stat-split-fancy’ will return ‘mail.spam’.
 
      (setq nnmail-split-fancy
            `(| (: spam-stat-split-fancy)
                "mail.misc"))
 
  -- Variable: spam-stat-split-fancy-spam-group
      The group to use for spam.  Default is ‘mail.spam’.
 
    If you also filter mail with specific subjects into other groups, use
 the following expression.  Only mails not matching the regular
 expression are considered potential spam.
 
      (setq nnmail-split-fancy
            `(| ("Subject" "\\bspam-stat\\b" "mail.emacs")
                (: spam-stat-split-fancy)
                "mail.misc"))
 
    If you want to filter for spam first, then you must be careful when
 creating the dictionary.  Note that ‘spam-stat-split-fancy’ must
 consider both mails in ‘mail.emacs’ and in ‘mail.misc’ as non-spam,
 therefore both should be in your collection of non-spam mails, when
 creating the dictionary!
 
      (setq nnmail-split-fancy
            `(| (: spam-stat-split-fancy)
                ("Subject" "\\bspam-stat\\b" "mail.emacs")
                "mail.misc"))
 
    You can combine this with traditional filtering.  Here, we move all
 HTML-only mails into the ‘mail.spam.filtered’ group.  Note that since
 ‘spam-stat-split-fancy’ will never see them, the mails in
 ‘mail.spam.filtered’ should be neither in your collection of spam mails,
 nor in your collection of non-spam mails, when creating the dictionary!
 
      (setq nnmail-split-fancy
            `(| ("Content-Type" "text/html" "mail.spam.filtered")
                (: spam-stat-split-fancy)
                ("Subject" "\\bspam-stat\\b" "mail.emacs")
                "mail.misc"))
