#### 6.6.5 The Empty Backend

`nnnil` is a backend that can be used as a placeholder if you have to specify a backend somewhere, but don’t really want to. The classical example is if you don’t want to have a primary select methods, but want to only use secondary ones:

    (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
    (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
          '((nnimap "foo")
            (nnml "")))
