So to recap (please correct any errors):

* There is a folder locally in MlMt called **Junk**; this same folder does **not** exist on the Fastmail server.

* There is a folder on the Fastmail server called **Spam**; this same folder does **not** exist locally in MlMt.
* SpamAssassin is running on the Fastmail side.
* The message in question was moved to the local **Junk** folder but **not** the **Spam** folder on the Fastmail side. * The message in question had header info that indicates it was evaluated by SpamAssassin and also had a relatively high Spam score (7.2).

If the above is accurate, then the next 2 things I would like to know are:

* What happened to the message on the Fastmail side? Meaning in which folder did it land?

* If you right-click on the local **Junk** folder and then goto “Mailbox Type”, how is it mapped?

I forgot to mention that the Junk folder is not on the Fastmail server. It is only a local folder created by MailMate. That seems to suggest the only way it got there is via MailMate itself.

But Fastmail has its own folder for that. It's called Spam. And it did not put it in that folder.

I have no Inbox rules at all. Here are the Sieve relevant lines in the
raw message:

X-Sieve: CMU Sieve 3.0
X-Spam-known-sender: no
X-Spam-sender-reputation: 500 (none)
X-Spam-score: 7.2
X-Spam-hits: HEADER_FROM_DIFFERENT_DOMAINS 0.248,

  URIBL_DBL_ABUSE_SPAM 7, LANGUAGES en, BAYES_USED none, SA_VERSION
3.4.2

That's a SpamAssassin header, added by the server. Your mail provider
put that message in Junk, not MailMate. The total score of 7.2 is
significantly above the default SA threshold score for spam (5.0) but
the 'X-Spam-hits' itemization shows that almost entirely due to one
issue: the "URIBL_DBL_ABUSE_SPAM" hit scored at 7. That hit indicates that there was a link in the message body whose domain is listed in the Spamhaus DBL list: https://www.spamhaus.org/dbl. It is rare for the DBL
to list domains that are not exclusively used in spam, but it does
happen.
