There are more sophisticated ways to get nnmail-split-fancy to work
with bbdb.

I have records for people that have gnus-private values and records
for mailing lists that have gnus-public values.  It's bbdb-gnus.el in
bbdb.  Very straightforward stuff.  Here's my nnmail-split-fancy:

 '(| ("mail.gnus-warning" "duplication of messages" "duplicate")
     (any "jmt\\+usenet@.*"
	  (| ("subject" "re:.*" "mail.misc")
	     ("references" ".*@.*" "mail.misc")
	     "mail.spam"))
     (any "usenet@.*" "mail.spam")
     ;; other mail
     (from "Cron Daemon" "mail.cron")
     (from mail "mail.warning")
     (from "root" "mail.root")
     ;; people and mailing lists
     (: jmt-bbdb-gnus-split-fancy)
     ;; diplomacy stuff
     (: judge-split)
     ;; and everything else...
     (to "jmt" "mail.misc")
     "mail.spam")

Short and sweet.  If I implement any more sophisticated attempts at
reducing spam, I'll do it with elisp and (: ...) since that looks easy
enough.

Here's the wrapper function:

(defun jmt-bbdb-gnus-split-fancy () 
  "this is just a boring wrapper function"
  (let ((x (bbdb/gnus-split-method)))
    (when x (cons '& x))))

Here's two example records:

judge-maint mailing list
            net: judge-maint@diplom.org, judge-maint@igo.org
    gnus-public: list.judge-maint .*
    last-access: 2002-03-28

Lisa-Marie Presley
            net: lisa_presley@hotmail.com
   gnus-private: people.Lisa_Presley
    last-access: 2002-03-28

Hope that helps!

Jack.
