How Spam Score Works: It Isn't for Me

Rescue good messages SpamSieve is my only operating Mail rule. SpamSieve rarely misses spam and correctly puts it in the Junk folder. But it does NOT transfer blocklist messages to Trash, even though that option is checked.

Currently, the Move it to the Trash if the spam score is at least option does not affect the Apple Mail - Rescue Good Messages script. If you want the rescue script to move blocklisted messages to the Trash you would need to edit the script, changing the line:

property pMoveBlueMessagesToTrash : false

to:

property pMoveBlueMessagesToTrash : true

Is it possible that some sort of message spoofing is going on so sender looks the same but actual sender is different?

I don’t think so. You can verify in the Log window what SpamSieve thinks the sender is and whether it classified the message as spam because of the blocklist.
