Some comments:

1. ("emacs" "^From:.*emacs")

Is it smarter to base that on *subject*? As in mine:

("emacs-w3m" "^Subject:.*emacs-w3m.*")

Also note the .* after the string.

(But this may be your situation that is different, just
sayin'.)

2. How to save you own mails - this works for me:

(setq gnus-message-archive-group '("nnml:mail.sent") )

3. Why it doesn't work at all - did you specify that
you use nnml? I have:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnml ""))
      mail-user-agent 'gnus-user-agent
      read-mail-command 'gnus)

4. Check out how I did it here -

- it might help you. And if you or anyone else sees
something inadvisable, do tell...

Good luck!
