Darn!  That sounded like the answer to my problem, but I checked and I don't have any 
filters defined, neither in my personal mailbox nor in the global filters.  Well, I do 
have the default spam.flt file, but the Server Administration and Filter & Forwarding 
screens both say I have no filters defined.  I have all my routing rules in 
routing.flt, and when I realized that wasn't working I duplicated a lot of them in my 
personal mailbox, but that didn't make any difference.
