You can use the following kludge (setq gnus-auto-subscribed-groups "^\\(nnml\\|nnfolder\\|nnmbox\\|nnmh\\|nnbabyl\\|nnmaildir\\).*:\\([^z]\\|z$\\|\\z[^z]\\|zz$\\|zz[^_]\\|zz_$\\).*") to avoid the zz_mairix-* groups being auto-subscribed. The term "back end" does not denote a group, but a server where groups reside, in your case your local nnml server. You do not have to create any groups manually, since nnmairix will create those groups for you. They should directly pop up in your Group buffer. -David
