I am using the basic nnmail-split-methods variable to specify mail
splitting rules for GNUS. Here is an abbreviated version from my
.emacs:
(setq nnmail-split-methods
'(("mail.system.backups" "^From.*amanda@")
("mail.system.cron" "^Subject: Cron")
("mail.personal" "")))
The problem I am having with this is that I routinely get a single
message being split into two different mail groups, giving me a copy
of the message in each group. I thought that this list was traversed
top to bottom and that the first match terminated the search?
Why might I be getting duplicates? How can I troubleshoot it?
Thanks, Ben

Gnus crossposts messages to all relevant groups by default. You can
turn that off by frobbing `nnmail-crosspost' if you wish. It is also
possible to split dupes into their own group. The manual will tell
you how.
