The junk mail filter has never been very effective - I'm set to send junk mail to the junk folder, but spam is caught less than half the time. For the past few days, legitimate email from frequent senders has been marked junk and sent to the junk folder. This has never happened previously with these senders or these email addresses.  I have my junk mail controls set to not mark as junk emails from those in my personal address book, but my junk mail folder has begun filling up with messages from those in my address book.

Reproducible: Always
