[MlMt] Weird problem with Spamsieve

[Robert Brenstein]

There were exchanges on such issues on this mailing list not long ago. 
For me, the solution was to give full disk access to both mailmate and 
spamsieve. Some of these settings did not want to stick, but once they 
did, the problem went away.
