I had a similar problem, but managed to solve it. In my case it depended on 
the order in which the filters are listed. If, for example, your "delete from 
server" filter is below the "spam filter", the message will be moved to spam 
folder and no other filters will be applied. So move your "delete from server" 
filter up above the "spam filter".
