What else do you propose should(/suppose would) happen?

If the mailserver deleted the email, you would be quite angry in case it
misdetected non-spam as spam...

I use fancy splitting, but yes, that looks about right comparing to the
documentation. The examples do not start with ^, so you may want to try
without it, if it doesn't work; see next paragraph.

You can test where an existing email would be split to by pressing B q
when looking at it.

And you can get Gnus to put it where the splitting rules say by pressing
B r.

Why? Wouldn't the point be to separate them out from the non-spam email?
Where would you like them to go? Remember that spam classification isn't
perfect.

Yeah, otherwise spammers would just set "X-Spam-Flag: NO" - so usually
mail servers that run SpamAssassin will remove any of those headers,
before adding what the mail server itself thinks.
