Sorry, setting bbdb/n-a-c-p to a function is not documented in my
version (bbdb-version's value is "2.32"). Or maybe I just couldn't
find it. Or do I have to upgrade?

Thanks for this suggestion. So in principle it should look like this
(please correct me if I'm wrong):
(defun rs-bbdb-auto-create-maybe ()
(if (string-match rs-bbb-dont-add-regex some-internal-bbdb-variable)
nil t))
(setq bbdb/news-auto-create-p 'rs-bbdb-auto-create-maybe)
What variable `some-internal-bbdb-variable' is the right one here?

Strange, bbdb/news-auto-create-p is already nil in this group.

Could you show me an example?

Well, I'm using Gnus, so I'm not afraid of having millions of
variables. ;-)
Bye, Reiner.
