Ignore addresses from mailing list mail with BBDB in Emacs

Question

I'd like to configure bbdb to not auto-notice addresses in mailing list mail. I'm trying to use the X-Mailing-List and X-Mailman-Version headers, since those seem to be consistently present on all the mailing lists I read, but it doesn't seem to be working (i.e. bbdb still offers to save email addresses from mails containing those headers)... What am I doing wrong?

(setq bbdb-ignore-message-alist
      '((("X-Mailman-Version" "X-Mailing-List") . ".*")))

By the way, I'm using bbdbv3.

Looking at my copy of the BBDB manual, it seems that you need to set bbdb/mail-auto-create-p (setting it to bbdb-ignore-some-messages-hook) and then you want bbdb-ignore-some-messages-alist (note the "-some"). See section 1.7.3: Predefined Hooks.
