Hi Slayer,

What you need to do is look at the message source for the "from" IP.  Then goto dnsstuff.com and search in the antispam databases

Yes you can.

Under SME7: Configuration - Email - Email filter settings

Sort spam into junkmail folder - Choose "Disabled" then "save" button

This will allow it to pass through and be received by your email client

That's not necessary. The email client (assuming it is configured to use IMAP) can access the junkmail folder directly (just like any other folder).

My Thunderbird version seems resisting to do so, I worked around it creating a link to the junkmail folder from the INBOX.junkmail folder, see bug 1911 (http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1911).
