So that means that SpamBayes is working correctly.

By ticking those options that means that when mail is classed as unsure (or
spam) the to and subject headers will be modified to include the "unsure"
(or "spam") classification.  If you've got both ticked, then you should
definitely see the "unsure," tag in the subject of incoming mail.

The message rule should be checking the "To" (or "Subject") header not
"From".  Does it work if you change it to that?
