The gmail is being used because the other one does not match I
guess. The first "all match" is the fall back. The others are still
checked.

See (gnus) Posting Styles in the gnus info file.

I use rx to simplify the regexps e.g :-

,----
| (add-to-list `gnus-posting-styles  `( ,(rx(or "INBOX.mail.rgr" "root"))
|                                     (from "Richard Riley 
<rgr@richardriley.net>")
|                                     (name "Richard Riley"))t)
`----

I'm not sure of the address parts as I only set the from field in my
settings!
