I currently split mail with BBDB and group splitting: (setq nnmail-split-methods 'bbdb/gnus-split-method bbdb/gnus-split-nomatch-function 'gnus-group-split ) All was good and happy in my world until this morning. I decided to implement an idea I read a while back on Slashdot where I create a unique email address for every person or company I correspond with (I host my own mail server so adding new virtual users is no problem). The new form of address I want to use is kirk-xxxxx@strauser, where xxxxx is a random integer. Now, the part that's tricking me is that I want all of those new email address to come into their own group, with bonus points if the groups are auto-generated. For example, mail to kirk-12345@strauser.com should land in mail.filtered.12345 . FWIW, I'll be using an nnvirtual group matching (nnvirtual "nnml:mail\\.filtered\\..*") to collect all of the pre-split mail into one group for convenient reading, but still leave the messages in their individual groups to easily identify the sender. My question, then, is where should I define the split rules for all of these new groups? I'd really prefer not to have to manually create each one and set its group parameters (for the gnus-group-split method). -- Kirk Strauser
