After starting up Gnus, try this form in the *scratch* buffer:

(featurep 'bbdb-gnus) ;; Type `C-j' at the end of the form.

If this returns nil, it means your ~/.gnus file, containing
the splitting rules, is not loaded.  If so, a possible cause is
that you have ~/.gnus.el or ~/.gnus.elc, that's accidentally made.
Gnus prefers those files than ~/.gnus [1].  Even if ~/.gnus.el
or ~/.gnus.elc is empty, Gnus would work just like normal
because of ~/.newsrc.eld.
