I should have added "without ever having to visit that group."  I want
the group to act like /dev/null essentially.

  ;;; Newsgroups in which mail should expire
  (setq gnus-total-expirable-newsgroups "Gmail\\|moley\\|blackhole")

  ;;; Email pre-expiry period according to group 
  (setq nnmail-expiry-wait-function
        (lambda (group)
          (cond ((string= group "Gmail")      90)
                ((string= group "moley")      30)
                ((string= group "blackhole") 'immediate)
                (t                            7))))

This arrangement works as it stands.  Each time I quit the summary
buffer of 'blackhole' any read mail is immediately expired but I don't
want to read it.  I don't even want to visit the group in the first
place.  I just want mail split to 'blackhole' to disappear.

Is this possible?
