I have no Inbox rules at all. Here are the Sieve relevant lines in the raw message:

X-Sieve: CMU Sieve 3.0
X-Spam-known-sender: no
X-Spam-sender-reputation: 500 (none)
X-Spam-score: 7.2
X-Spam-hits: HEADER_FROM_DIFFERENT_DOMAINS 0.248, HTML_FONT_LOW_CONTRAST 0.001,
  HTML_MESSAGE 0.001, ME_HAS_VSSU 0.001, ME_SENDERREP_NEUTRAL 0.001,
  RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE -0.0001, SPF_HELO_NONE 0.001, SPF_PASS -0.001,
URIBL_DBL_ABUSE_SPAM 7, LANGUAGES en, BAYES_USED none, SA_VERSION 3.4.2

That's a SpamAssassin header, added by the server. Your mail provider put that message in Junk, not MailMate. The total score of 7.2 is significantly above the default SA threshold score for spam (5.0) but the 'X-Spam-hits' itemization shows that almost entirely due to one issue: the "URIBL_DBL_ABUSE_SPAM" hit scored at 7. That hit indicates that there was a link in the message body whose domain is listed in the Spamhaus DBL list: https://www.spamhaus.org/dbl. It is rare for the DBL to list domains that are not exclusively used in spam, but it does happen.
