Now, I use mozilla mail filtering combined with rulesets so 
I think I am getting specific addresses dropped into folders 
before the junk mail filter runs on the Inbox.  I think that 
is what is happening.  So the important people will get 
their email put in the right place before the junk mail 
filter operates on it.
