You haven't said which junk filter you're using, which would be useful
to know if anyone wants to help.

It's also possible the filter's own database is borked in some way. You
can test Bogofilter from the Shell (just feed it a known ham and known
spam and see what it does). I assume SpamAssassin also allows this.
