Why doesn't MTA delivery it to PO's Junk?

* Postoffice level features already set "Delivery Junk to Junk E-Mail Folder"

How come it can bypass X-ME-Content: Deliver-To=Junk? Instead delivers to \Junk, it went straight to \Inbox instead?

Could this be a bug in v10.34 I wonder?

****************or Could it be this line explained the whole scenario why it went to \Inbox?)
X-ME-Bayesian: 40.000000

I understand it's the Overall Spam Score, anything below 40 means it's a Low suspected spam (correct me if I am wrong)
Low 40
Medium 60
High 80

Does it mean the probability of this email being spam is Low, so even it's RBL blacklisted, the email is still treated as non-spam, hence >\Inbox?
I thought failing the RBL alone is already enough to tag X-ME-Content: Deliver-To=Junk and send the email to \Junk ? No?

If it's the case, shall I decrease the number to Low 20 Medium 40 and High 60

Thanks

Hi,

If the RBL filter added X-ME-Content: Deliver-To=Junk header then it should have been delivered to the junk email folder for that mailbox. There is an issue in the current release where the setting for "Deliver Junk email to Junk email folder" reports as being by enabled by default but its not really enabled. To fix the problem you need to untick the option hit apply and then tick it again and hit apply so the value is written to the postoffice.sys file. This problem is addressed on the beta kit on our beta page.
