GOD fixed his bugs by throwing the misbehaving out of his Garden. 
So who the hell do you think you are in leaving bugs in your system.

(setq gnus-secondary-select-method '(nnml))

just tells gnus to use nnml
as an secindary method.

The mail splitting part comes next

(setq nnmail-split-incoming t)
;;then the split part wher you can use reg_expr.

(setq nnmail-split-methods

	'("mail.somegroupname"  "^From:.nice-maillist@some-server.com")

	 ("mail.misc" "")) 
 

The `mail.misc' group is the mail-bucket where everything non-matching
by any splitting rule goes.
Be aware that sorting is sequential, so the first match goes.
