I use bogofilter along with a python cron job to bring my tags and the
spam filter into sync. I use a tag (junk) to mark mail as spam and
two other tags (.bf_ham and .bf_spam) to indicate that the message has been added to
bogofilter. The script's task is then to,

 * Unregister as spam, register as ham messages with tag:.bf_spam and not tag:junk with bogofilter
 * Register as spam, unregister as ham messages with tag:junk and not tag:.bf_spam

This is pretty straightforward to implement and is quite effective. It
would be nice, however, if the emacs interface supported hiding tags
matching certain patterns (say /\..+/).
