The following example from my .gnus.el file might be helpful. I am not
sure if using nnimap will change any of this as I do not use it. I
can't see how it would make a difference.
(setq gnus-parameters
'(("mail\\.emacspeak"
(to-address . "emacspeak@cs.vassar.edu"))
("mail\\.homeroast-list"
(posting-style
(address "robdcraw@gmail.com")
(user-mail-address "robdcraw@gmail.com")
(signature-file "~/.signature-gmail")))
("mail\\.thinkpad-list"
(to-address . "linux-thinkpad@linux-thinkpad.org")
(posting-style
(address "robdcraw@gmail.com")
(user-mail-address "robdcraw@gmail.com")
(signature-file "~/.signature-gmail")))))
I hope this helps,
rdc
