Not out of the box. See Chapter 19, Dealing With Junk Mail, in the MH-E
Manual [1] for the filters we do support. But if you can't live without
ifile, you could modify mh-junk.el in a similar fashion to the others.

I've been using bogofilter for quite some time and it manages to keep me
from seeing 2,000 spams a day. I get about 1 false positive a month, but
I wrote a script to scan my corpus once a week to check for mail from
previous contacts which reduces that rate further.
