(setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy
      nnmail-split-fancy
      ;; Messages from the mailer daemon are not crossposted to any of
      ;; the ordinary groups.  Warnings are put in a separate group
      ;; from real errors.
      '(| ;; Try all alternatives till one matches
        ;; Split foo23@xxxx.edu into mail.buddy
        (from "foo23@xxxx.edu"    "mail.buddy")
        ;; Split ab_foo_cd@xxxx.com into mail.buddy, too.
        (from "ab_foo_cd@xxx.com" "mail.buddy")
        ;; Unmatched mail goes to the catch all group.
        "misc.misc"))

Have a look at (info "(gnus)Fancy Mail Splitting").

Bye,
