JUnk mail sometimes deletes, sometimes moves to JunKamil folder

I have my junk mail settings in Outlook 2003 set to Delete junk mail when it
finds it, which appears to work great except about 1-2 messages a day end up
in the Junk Mail folder! I checked to make sure I didn't have any of my own
rules moving messages there (I only have 4 of my own rules), why would most
junk mail get deleted, but a few go to the JunkMail folder when I do not
have that selected as an option?

thanks

Do you have any other rules defined that might be causing this? The Junk
Mail rule works first, so any other rules will still act on those messages
afterward...

No I don't, I looked very carefully at the 4 other rules - none of them move
anything to the Junk folder under nay circumstances.

One question/possibility, I think the Outlook 2003 rules are client-based,
and for a long time my rules were server-based. Is it possible some rules
are on the server and I can't see them, and an old rule on the server is
doing this? How could I tell?

Well, you could look at the following page to see what defines a client-side
vs. a server-side rule in Outlook...maybe that would help. I'm kind of at a
loss on this one myself.
