Simple, stupid and lazy, I just installed the Debian GNU/Linux packages and read parts of the docs. One just adds new spam domains to ~/.mailfilterrc . And use gnus-junk-complain.el to help the operators of big mail services like yahoo (often forged by spammers) attack those evil perpetrators of spam. Using the search items mailfilter and fetchmail with Google at http://www.google com will take you to the right websites. Cheers!
