Is other junk mail being filtered? If so, you probably just need to
train your filter some more. If not, are you sure you actually have a
filter installed? Note that Evo doesn't have a built-in filter, it just
uses SpamAssassin so you need to have that as well. Alternatively, there
are patches for using Bogofilter instead.
