[snip] I've been using BBDB-based splitting for some time now. You'll need gnus-bbdb from: You can simply set nnmail-split-methods to gnus-bbdb-split-method.

'gnus-private' is used for regular email to handle splitting by sender. The problem with sorting incoming mail by sender is that mailing list emails could end up in a whole bunch of different groups if the senders are in your BBDB ('gnus-private'). 'gnus-public' alleviates this problem by splitting the message to the mailing list group first. If crossposting is disabled, then the message ends up only in the mailing list group and none of the individual groups. -- -David ________________________________________________________________ E.
