I have turned off all I can, but, according to the support person I 
talked to yesterday, you cannot completely disable the Anti-spam service 
(which is consistent with the link Bennie posted earlier).

After the SpamSieve drone fiasco I mentioned yesterday, I'm not so 
sure

I am as much at fault as I thought; I'm happy to be proven wrong, if I
can figure out what's going on.

Said SpamSieve drone was a completely new installation, so I don't 
think
it has anything to do with "leftover" data.  But what was happening 
was,
just about all messages were ending up in my Spam mailbox, even 
messages

I get regularly from senders that I've been getting for years with no
problem.

I investigated further today, and every messages in the Spam mailbox 
had

these headers (inserted by DreamHost's anti-spam service, which I am
unable to disable):

X-VR-STATUS:
X-VR-SCORE:
X-VR-SPAMCAUSE:

The values varied, of course, but the one constant was, every message
that had a non-zero X-VR-SCORE (which was most of them, like 90+%) was
moved to the spam mailbox.  Now, after disabling the drone, I'm 
getting

all the messages filtered (locally) into the correct mailboxes, but
still all those non-zero scored messages have the yellow header with
[Mark as Not Junk] [ Load Once] [ Move to Junk]
buttons.

I can only assume that MailMate is heeding these X-VR-* headers and
considering every message with a non-zero score as "spammy", yielding
the yellow banner and buttons.  Is this correct?

If so...has there been a recent change in MM that might affect this?  
(I

can't recall when I last updated, but this issue "coincidentally"
started after my aforementioned SpamSieve drone problem, but since 
I've

now eliminated SpamSieve from the equation, now I I'm sure what to
think.

I'm about to completely nuke my MM installation and start from 
scratch,

just in case I've mucked up something unbeknownst to me, so if anyone
has ideas that can save me from that pain, I'd appreciate it!

Within MailMate the only two ways are the SpamSieve-integration or

Here ya go.


You have a lot of rules in different mailboxes, but I don't see 
anything

moving emails to mailboxes named something like spam or junk.


Well, crap...that's what I get for multi-tasking and not paying
attention.  Hope there's no sensitive data in there... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


I don't think anyone would care much about the data in the file. The
biggest problem is that some email addresses might be scraped by some
spam-address-collecting robot, but I suspect they would skip `.plist`
files.
