Set add the function bbdb-auto-notes-hook to your bbdb-notice-hook, and
set the following variable similarly to this:

(setq bbdb-auto-notes-alist
      '(("From" ("@lehman.com" company "Lehman Brothers"))
        ("From" ("@jpmorgan.com" company "JP Morgan"))
        ("From" ("@lucid.com" company "Lucid, Inc. (defunct)"))))

See the docs for the various variables and functions for more info.
