No, it's a MailMate setting. When SpamSieve reports something as being 
spam then MailMate moves it to Junk. If not, then MailMate leaves it in 
the Inbox, but this does not affect image blocking (by default). Image 
blocking is not only relevant for junk email (in my opinion).

What you need to do is to review the settings in the Security 
preferences pane. You can tell MailMate to mark emails explicitly as 
“Not Junk” if they have a score under some value (the SpamSieve 
score for non-junk is 0-50). This can then be combined with disabling 
image blocking for “Not Junk” emails.

But in your case I think it might be better to setup a rule to 
explicitly mark these specific emails as “Not Junk”.
