I do it like this:

(setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy)
(setq nnmail-split-fancy
      '(| ("newsgroups" ".*" "news.posted")
	  ("to\\|cc" "\\(root\\|Postmaster\\|postmaster\\|mailer-daemon\\)@\\(www\\)" "mail.root")
	  ("subject" "output from .cron. command" (| ("subject"
						      "re\\|fwd" "mail.misc")
						     "mail.cron"))
	  ("to\\|cc" "ding" "mail.lists.ding")
	  ("to\\|cc" "adm-drift" "mail.sol.drift")
	  ("to\\|cc" "4ad" "mail.lists.4ad")
	  ("to\\|cc" "WWW-SECURITY" "mail.lists.www-security")
	  ("to\\|cc" "culture-time" "mail.lists.culture-time")
	  ("to\\|cc" "bofh" "mail.bofh")
	  [lots deleted]
	  ("from" "webspawner.com" "mail.void")
	  ("to" ".+" "mail.misc")
	  "mail.void"))

Anything that hasn't already been split, but contains a To: filed goes
to mail.misc. Things with nae To: at all goes to mail.void. Has proven
very useful.
