You can do it by AppleScript. Copy, paste and save the following script in Script Editor (in /Applications/AppleScript) as a Script. to the Entourage Script Menu Items folder in your Microsoft User Data folder. Name it "Remove Junk from Server" or whatever:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
    if category of theMsg contains {category "Junk"} then set connection action of theMsg to remove at next connection
end tell

Now make a Rule with criterion "Is Junk email" and an action to (only, nothing else) Run AppleScript, click the Script... button, and navigate to this "Remove Junk from Server" script.

Then, in your Rules list. move this rule to below any rule that Changes Status to Junk E-mail or Not Junk E-mail, but above all other rules (especially any that move messages). You can uncheck the "Do not apply other rules" box if you wish.
