The last of these groups should always be a general one, and the regular

to make a match will ``win'', unless you have crossposting enabled. In
that case, all matching rules will ``win''.) If no rule matched, the mail
will end up in the @samp{bogus} group. When new groups are created by
splitting mail, you may want to run @code{gnus-group-find-new-groups} to
see the new groups. This also applies to the @samp{bogus} group.

If multiple rules match (excluding the general @samp{""} group), mail

match will ``win''.
If no rule matched, the mail will end up in the @samp{bogus} group.
