Ahh!!
I'm guessing you don't have a BBDB record for the jobalert system?
Thus BBDB says well I have this name, and I have four records that
seem to match it some how, but none of the nets match, what to do?
Personally, I have added 'important' mailer-demons to my BBDB (I
have one mailer-demon entry which I just keep adding nets/AKA's to).
In this case the one record that hits on the net and name is the
mailer demon so BBDB would select the mailer demon entry instead of
some random slob that works for the company :)

Uhh, no I don't think this would hurt much of anything. In fact
the code is sort of written thinking that this is the case.
