Even better, if you use a MTA that supports receiving mail to
user-extension@hostname.org.au, eg postfix (by default it uses +, not -).

I have

(setq nnmail-split-fancy

[...]

("Delivered-To" "bam-\\(\\w+\\)@snoopy\\.apana\\.org\\.au" "mail.\1")

[...]
)

Now all incoming mail to bam-pgnus@snoopy.apana.org.au, would
automatically end up in the mail.pgnus folder. This means I can
easily manage a number of unrelated tasks.

In order to send mail, I would use:

     (setq gnus-posting-styles
           '(
[...]
             ("\\bpgnus\\b"
              (signature "Brian May <bam-pgnus@snoopy.apana.org.au>")
              (address "bam-pgnus@snoopy.apana.org.au")
              ("Gcc" "nnml+private:mail.pgnus")
              ("X-Home-Page" "http://snoopy.apana.org.au/~bam/")
             )
[...]
      )

What I wish I could do is something like:

     (setq gnus-posting-styles
           '(
[...]
             ("mail.\\(\\w+\\)"
              (signature "Brian May <bam-\\1@snoopy.apana.org.au>")
              (address "bam-\\1@snoopy.apana.org.au")
              ("Gcc" "nnml+private:mail.\\1")
              ("X-Home-Page" "http://snoopy.apana.org.au/~bam/")
             )
[...]
      )

...but this doesn't work. \\1 isn't expanded.
