As you told me via private e-mail, the SpamSieve log said:
Reason: sender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in address book
which confirms this. What you should do is make sure that "Exclude my
addresses" is checked in SpamSieve's preferences:
<http://c-command.com/spamsieve/manual-ah/exclude-my-addresses>
and that the above address is on the "Me" card in the system Address
Book.

SpamSieve doesn't match the sender name against the name in the
address book. The idea of using the address book in the first place
is as a safety feature. SpamSieve would probably classify messages
from your regular correspondents correctly, anyway, but if you tell
it to use the address book you can be sure that those messages will
never be classified as spam. It's extra piece of mind, at the
possible cost of a few spam messages with forged addresses getting
through. Since there are plenty of legitimate reasons why the sender
name might not exactly match the one in the address book, SpamSieve
cannot look at the name without compromising the safety--so the
address book filter just looks at the address.
