Here is what I use:

(setq nnmail-split-methods
	("mail.emacspeak" "^X-Mailing-List: <emacspeak")
        ("mail.other" ""))

I removed the other splitting I do, but this should be valid code if
this is the only splitting you do.

Is this exactly what the header looks like?  This will match a header
line that looks like this:

Sender: emacspeak@xxxxxxxxxxx
Resent-from: emacspeak@xxxxxxxxxxx

Not sure off the top of my head.  You might want to have a look at that
section of the lisp reference info manual.

I decided to send my nnmail-split-methods.  It is not complicated by any
means but it should provide some examples.

(setq nnmail-split-methods
      '(("mail.jerianne" "^From:.*jerianne")
	("mail.jerianne" "^From:.*my30thbirthday")
	("mail.jerianne" "^From:.*whysoblue")
	("mail.jerianne" "^From:.*jthompson")
        ("mail.knights" "^Subject:.*Knights")
        ("mail.debian-laptop" "^X-Mailing-List:.*debian-laptop")
	("mail.tips" "^From:.*UGU")
	("mail.notes" "^To:.*Notes")
	("mail.gmail" "^To:.*robdcraw")
	("mail.homeroast-list" "^To:.*homeroast")
	("mail.homeroast-list" "^Cc:.*homeroast")
	("mail.thinkpad-list" "^To:.*thinkpad")
	("mail.powertop-list" "^To:.*power@xxxxxxxxxxx")	
	("mail.powertop-list" "^Cc:.*power@xxxxxxxxxxx")
	("mail.thinkpad-list" "^Cc:.*thinkpad")
	("mail.emacspeak" "^X-Mailing-List: <emacspeak")
	("mail.gmail" "^Subject:.*orgmode")
        ("mail.other" "")))

Don't get stuck in a closet -- wear yourself out.
