GMail doesn't allow you to customize the spam-rules, but it does let you
bypass them. Only mail that's sent to inbox gets checked for spam, so any
filter which also adds "bypass inbox" to its rules will go straight to the
designated folder and never be caught by spamfilters.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
