I can tell you how it works in MailMate (and essentially also in Apple 
Mail). The settings in the Security preferences pane determine which 
messages are given to SpamSieve for analysis. Anything scoring above 50 
(0-100) is marked as junk and moved to the “Junk” mailbox of the 
account.

If you explicitly (or using a rule) move a message to “Junk” (or 
mark it as junk) then MailMate also tells SpamSieve about this.

Since Apple Mail behaves differently then it sounds like you have some 
kind of rule triggering MailMate to mark your messages as junk. Do you 
have any rules defined in MailMate?
