problem with bbdb whitelist filtering

[Martin Monsorno <monsorno-nospam@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I recently enabled spam.el for my incoming mail the following way:

,----
| (spam-initialize)
| (setq spam-use-BBDB t)
| (setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy
|       nnmail-split-fancy '(|
|          ("Gnus-Warning" ".*duplicate.*" "duplicates")
|          (to "ding@\\(gnus\\.org\\|hpc.uh.edu\\)" "gnus-mailing-list") 
|          (: spam-split)
|          ("X-Spammer" "white" (|
|             (to "Martin\\.Monsorno@exolution\\.de" "work")
|             (to "monsorno@gmx\\.de" "private")))
|          (to "Martin\\.Monsorno@exolution\\.de" "work-spam")
|          (to "monsorno@gmx\\.de" "private-spam")
|          "unsplitted-mail"
| ))
`----

I hope this is the correct way, the idea was the following:
- Process mail and mark it as white when the sender is in the bbdb
  database.  Marking is done by inserting the header "X-Spammer"
  containing a string like "white: From: x@exolution.de"
- Now split all mail marked as white into folders depending on the
  to-headers
- Do the same for mail not marked as white, with destination folders
  with the string "-spam" attached

The problem is: this does not work in any case.  E.g., if I send a
message to myself, with a From-header set to "xxx@exolution.de",
spam.el marks this message as white, despite the fact, that I have no
person with this mail-address in my bbdb.

Any ideas, whats going on/wrong here?
