For example, my nnmail-split-fancy contains
(any "debian-\\(\\w*\\)@lists\\.debian\\.org" "mail.lists.debian.\\1")
which causes groups like mail.lists.debian.devel,
mail.lists.debian.user, etc. to be automagically created.  I don't
want to create all of the relevant groups by hand, and I'd prefer not
to set group parameters by hand either.
