I use the following for mailing lists:

;;-- 

(setq gnus-posting-styles
	'(("nnml:.*"
         (From (save-excursion
                 (set-buffer gnus-article-buffer)
                 (message-fetch-field "to"))))

;; <snipped>

	("^nnml\\+private\\:lug@lug\\.dom"
	 (address "usenet26@ossh.com")
	 (to "lug@lug.dom")
	 (cc nil)
         (signature-file "~/.sig/signature-lug"))
         ;; repeat above for other ML's and NG's
        ))

;; <snipped>

;;--

The above might not be a "proper" way of doing mailing lists in Gnus,
since it sends *all* responses here:

      * (to "lug@lug.dom")

but that isnt a problem for me since I keep private interaction to a
minimum.
