Try:

(setq nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words t)

In the case where it is nil (by default), the regexp "@lists\\."
is computed into "\\<@lists\\.\\>", which won't match any mail
address since "." is not recognized as `word'.  The value t
prevents it from being surrounded by "\\<...\\>".  Please note,
changing the value of `nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words'
might also affect other entries in `nnmail-split-fancy'.
