Try customizing the variable bbdb-ignore-message-alist:

,----
| bbdb-ignore-message-alist is a variable defined in `bbdb.el'.
| Its value is nil
| 
| Documentation:
| Alist describing which messages not to automatically create BBDB records for.
| The format of this alist is
|    ((HEADER-NAME . REGEXP) ... )
| For example, if
|    (("From" . "mailer-daemon")
|     (("To" "CC") . "mailing-list-1\\|mailing-list-2"))
| no BBDB records are created for messages from any mailer daemon,
| or messages sent to or CCed to either of two mailing lists.
| If t ignore all messages.  If nil do not ignore any messages.
| 
| See also `bbdb-accept-message-alist', which has the opposite effect.
