Ask yourself: "of all the addresses I am automatically snarfing, what
percentage do I really want to keep?" If that number is low, then
turn off automatic snarfing of addresses and just add the ones you
want by hand (in gnus type a colon (:) in the summary buffer.) A more
complicated approach, and what I use: if there's a particular group or
set of groups you want to do automatic snarfing in, you can set that
properly with gnus-select-group-hook.
(add-hook 'gnus-select-group-hook
(lambda ()
(setq bbdb/news-auto-create-p
(if (or (string= gnus-newsgroup-name
"nnimap+linux:INBOX.inbox")
(string= gnus-newsgroup-name
"nnimap+linux:INBOX.deptmgt")
(string= gnus-newsgroup-name
"nnimap+linux:INBOX.infosec"))
'bbdb-ignore-some-messages-hook nil))))
Thus when I'm in three folders, I've got auto-snarfing turned on
(modulo bbdb-ignore-some-messages-alist, which you already know
about).
