I've been meaning to do this myself for a while so I had a look. The
problem with what you've tried is that bbdb/mail-auto-create-p and
bbdb/news-auto-create-p only deal with the automatic creation of bbdb
records. The irritating messages are from bbdb deciding whether to add
an address to an existing record.
The current design of bbdb doesn't let you add a regexp to decide that a
given address is junk, I don't think. However, there's a slightly
hackier solution if you're using gnus: Stick the following in your
~/.gnus or somewhere it'll get loaded
(setf bbdb-always-add-addresses
(lambda ()
(if (or (not (boundp 'gnus-newsgroup-name))
(not (string-match "^gmane" gnus-newsgroup-name)))
'ask
nil)))
It uses an undocumented variable, but maybe there's a better
way. Anyway, this means that it won't try to add any addresses in a
gmane group, which probably has the desired effect.
