-* Using `spam.el' on an IMAP server with a statistical filter on the
- server

-** Background
-
-My provider has set up bogofilter (in combination with DCC) on the
-mail server (IMAP). Recognized spam goes to "spam.detected", the rest
-goes through the normal filter rules, i.e. to "some.folder" or to
-"INBOX". Training on false positives or negatives is done by copying
-or moving the article to "training.ham" or "training.spam"
-respectively. A cron job on the server feeds those to bogofilter with
-the suitable ham or spam options and deletes them from the
-"training.ham" and "training.spam" folders.

+From Reiner Steib <reiner.steib@@gmx.de>.
+
+My provider has set up bogofilter (in combination with @acronym{DCC}) on
+the mail server (@acronym{IMAP}). Recognized spam goes to
+@samp{spam.detected}, the rest goes through the normal filter rules,
+i.e. to @samp{some.folder} or to @samp{INBOX}. Training on false
+positives or negatives is done by copying or moving the article to
+@samp{training.ham} or @samp{training.spam} respectively. A cron job on
+the server feeds those to bogofilter with the suitable ham or spam
+options and deletes them from the @samp{training.ham} and
+@samp{training.spam} folders.
+With the following entries in @code{gnus-parameters}, @code{spam.el}
+does most of the job for me:
+
+@lisp
("nnimap:spam\\.detected"
(gnus-article-sort-functions '(gnus-article-sort-by-chars))
(ham-process-destination "nnimap:INBOX" "nnimap:training.ham")

-*** The Spam folder:
+@item @b{The Spam folder:}
- In the folder "spam.detected", I have to check for false positives
- (i.e. legitimate mails, that were wrongly judged as spam by
- bogofilter or DCC).
-
- Because of the `gnus-group-spam-classification-spam' entry, all
- messages are marked as spam (with `$'). When I find a false
- positive, I mark the message with some other mark (see `ham-marks'
- in the manual: `C-h i d gnus RET i ham-mark RET'). On group exit,
- those messages are copied to both groups, "INBOX" (were I want to
- have the article) and "training.ham" (for training bogofilter) and
- deleted from the "spam.detected" folder.
+In the folder @samp{spam.detected}, I have to check for false positives
+(i.e. legitimate mails, that were wrongly judged as spam by
+bogofilter or DCC).
- The sort-by-chars entry simplifies detection of false positives for
- me. I receive lots of worms [1] (sweN, ...), that all have a
- similar size. Grouping them by size (i.e. chars) makes finding
- other false positives easier.
+Because of the @code{gnus-group-spam-classification-spam} entry, all
+messages are marked as spam (with @code{$}). When I find a false
+positive, I mark the message with some other ham mark (@code{ham-marks},
+@ref{Spam ELisp Package Global Variables}). On group exit, those
+messages are copied to both groups, @samp{INBOX} (were I want to have
+the article) and @samp{training.ham} (for training bogofilter) and
+deleted from the @samp{spam.detected} folder.
-*** Ham folders:
+The @code{gnus-article-sort-by-chars} entry simplifies detection of
+false positives for me. I receive lots of worms (sweN, @dots{}), that all
+have a similar size. Grouping them by size (i.e. chars) makes finding
+other false positives easier. (Of course worms aren't @i{spam}
+(@acronym{UCE}, @acronym{UBE}) strictly speaking. Anyhow, bogofilter is
+an excellent tool for filtering those unwanted mails for me.)
- In my ham folders, I just hit `S x' (`gnus-summary-mark-as-spam')
- whenever I see an unrecognized spam mail (false negative). On group
- exit, those messages are moved to "training.ham".

-* Reporting spam articles in Gmane [2] groups with `spam-report.el'
+In my ham folders, I just hit @kbd{S x}

+mail (false negative). On group exit, those messages are moved to
+@samp{training.ham}.

("^gmane\\."
(spam-process (gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-report-gmane)))
+@end lisp
Additionally, I use `(setq spam-report-gmane-use-article-number nil)'
because I don't read the groups directly from news.gmane.org, but
through my local news server (leafnode). I.e. the article numbers are
-not the same as on news.gmane.org, thus `spam-report.el' has to check
-the "X-Report-Spam" header to find the correct number.
