If you don't have a news server called "news" on your network, you'll
probably want to set your primary server to be nnnil, like so:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
The default of nntp+news is perhaps a relic in this day and age - from
when universities usually had a news server you could reach as the host
"news", and most people firing up Gnus for the first time was looking
for, well, just that.
(The only difference, as far as I know, between the select method and
the secondary select methods is that in the latter group names are
prefixed with the server name).

Configure splitting or fancy splitting:
* http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_177.html
* http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_184.html
I would probably start simple, adding a rule at a time, testing them.
Regexps and the word boundary stuff can be fiddly.
Nice commands to test is: B q which will show you where the current
email would be split to, and B r which will move the email according to
the splitting rules.
Best regards,
Adam
