[MlMt] More MailMate woes

[Randall Meadows]

After the SpamSieve drone fiasco I mentioned yesterday, I'm not so sure 
I am as much at fault as I thought; I'm happy to be proven wrong, if I 
can figure out what's going on.

Said SpamSieve drone was a completely new installation, so I don't think 
it has anything to do with "leftover" data.  But what was happening was, 
just about all messages were ending up in my Spam mailbox, even messages 
I get regularly from senders that I've been getting for years with no 
problem.

I investigated further today, and every messages in the Spam mailbox had 
these headers (inserted by DreamHost's anti-spam service, which I am 
unable to disable):

X-VR-STATUS:
X-VR-SCORE:
X-VR-SPAMCAUSE:

The values varied, of course, but the one constant was, every message 
that had a non-zero X-VR-SCORE (which was most of them, like 90+%) was 
moved to the spam mailbox.  Now, after disabling the drone, I'm getting 
all the messages filtered (locally) into the correct mailboxes, but 
still all those non-zero scored messages have the yellow header with
[Mark as Not Junk] [ Load Once] [ Move to Junk]
buttons.

I can only assume that MailMate is heeding these X-VR-* headers and 
considering every message with a non-zero score as "spammy", yielding 
the yellow banner and buttons.  Is this correct?

If so...has there been a recent change in MM that might affect this?  (I 
can't recall when I last updated, but this issue "coincidentally" 
started after my aforementioned SpamSieve drone problem, but since I've 
now eliminated SpamSieve from the equation, now I I'm sure what to 
think.

I'm about to completely nuke my MM installation and start from scratch, 
just in case I've mucked up something unbeknownst to me, so if anyone 
has ideas that can save me from that pain, I'd appreciate it!
