Gnus can't know what's spam (not very well at least) but a good external system can. I use and like Bogofilter which must be trained with good messages and spam messages. It works very well after a training period. Bogofilter is a separate program but it's easy to install in GNU/Linux systems. I don't know about other operating systems. Gnus's spam system can be configured to use Bogofilter but I agree that as a whole it's quite complicated. I used it many years - and it worked nicely - but eventually wrote a simpler Bogofilter-based system that is enough for my own needs: https://github.com/tlikonen/gnus-bogofilter > Seriously, the docs chapter on spam is hard.

Fancy splitting (nnmail-split-fancy) is required because it's the way to hook custom code to incoming mail delivery. -- /// Teemu Likonen - .-.. <https://github.com/tlikonen> // // PGP: 4E10 55DC 84E9 DFF6 13D7 8557 719D 69D3 2453 9450 ///
