got an anti spam tool with your anti virus program? Nortons and Trend in particular make a mess of things and the their junk filter is best turned off. But none of the anti virus junk filters is very good is my understanding of it.

The JunQuilla add-on creates an uncertain folder. Have yo installed that?

I think you seriously need to state what you have done to limit your spam. I think it is to the point your lost and it is running the show,.
