I forgot to mention that the Junk folder is not on the Fastmail server. It is only a local folder created by MailMate. That seems to suggest the only way it got there is via MailMate itself.

There's no such thing as a local *real* folder created by MailMate, so that must be a "Smart Folder" whose contents are defined by some logical definition, drawing messages from some set of source folders that exist on the IMAP server.

MailMate does include by default a "Junk" Smart Folder that includes all messages from whatever server-side folders you've labeled (or MM has labeled by default) as having a "Mailbox Type" of "Junk" across all accounts. If there's not a top-level folder named "Junk" on the server side, I expect that MM would see one named "Spam" as the right folder to include in the "Junk" Smart Folder.

So my *revised* theory is that your Spam folder on the Fastmail server is set in MM as the Junk-type folder for that account, that they in fact did put the message in Spam, and you moved it elsewhere before noticing that it had been in Spam (which is down in the Sources section of the mailbox list where you might not see it.)

But Fastmail has its own folder for that. It's called Spam. And it did not put it in that folder.

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.
