Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

If you set a mail filter for yourmailinglist.com which moves these mails to a 
specific folder <myfolder> and then enable the Junk Mail Control. Mails which 
are treated as Junk will get moved from <myfolder> to the Junk Mail folder.

Ie. the Junk Mail mechanism isn't treating manually set up mail filters as 
White Lists. It really should I'd say.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a mail filter which moves the selected mails to a specific folder 
<myfolder>.
2. Enable Junk Mail Control. Check White Lists. Check Handling and select the 
Junk Mails to be moved to "Other:" (which must have been created..). Enable 
Junk Mail log.
3. Wait for a mail that the Junk Mail Control considers to be SPAM and watch 
it move the mail from <myfolder> to the Junk Mail folder.




This is really annoying as it screws all mail filters.

you can make the filter act as a whitelist by adding a mark as non junk filter
action. It's a bit of a pain to do it for every filter, I agree, but at least
it's under your control...
