I believe the spam filters are caught at the smtp level (1st) and the routing rules 
are caught at the router layer(delivery to the mailbox)(2nd), but this should have 
nothing to do with a person accessing their mailbox. So yes, a spam filter could keep 
a routing rule from triggering if it never gets to the router.
