Did you put your pre-filtered-by-others filter-rule _BEFORE_ any other
existing split and filter-rules ?
Because these are allready pre-filtered, and therefore can be
matched as positives by your own filter-rules before the object
reaches the "possible spam"-filter-rule.

Filter-rules are on a first-match in sequence basis ,
atleast they are here in nnml-split-method ca ... rules and
the Reg_Exp's therein etc.

To err in the sequence is relative easy and gives sometimes messy
results. ;-)
