Do you have SpamAssassin installed?

The Junk filtering of Evo uses the well known and very good SA to flag
the mails. SA should identify most SPAMs out the box. However, results
get better, once the Bayesian classifier kicks in, which by default
needs to learn 200 messages each SPAM and HAM (non-Junk). So train your
Bayes good... ;)
