When I used POP some years ago, what worked out of the box for me was
using SpamAssassin as an external programme (spamc) during splitting, as
described in the manual:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/SpamAssassin.html
To quote from the relevant section:
,----
| [A] solution is to call the external tools during splitting. Example
| fancy split method:
|
| (setq nnmail-split-fancy '(| (: kevin-spamassassin)
| ...))
|
| (defun kevin-spamassassin ()
| (save-excursion
| (save-restriction
| (widen)
| (if (eq 1 (call-process-region (point-min) (point-max)
| "spamc" nil nil nil "-c"))
| "spam"))))
