GOD fixed his bugs by throwing the misbehaving out of his Garden.
So who the hell do you think you are in leaving bugs in your system.

(setq gnus-secondary-select-method '(nnml))
just tells gnus to use nnml
as an secindary method.
The mail splitting part comes next
(setq nnmail-split-incoming t)
;;then the split part wher you can use reg_expr.
(setq nnmail-split-methods
'("mail.somegroupname" "^From:.nice-maillist@some-server.com")
("mail.misc" ""))
The `mail.misc' group is the mail-bucket where everything non-matching
by any splitting rule goes.
Be aware that sorting is sequential, so the first match goes.
