Hello,

Thanks for your hint and help. The culprit (I have hashed it now) was
found in my .procmailrc file, which reads as:

--------------
#:0
#* ^From:.*News
#| ${FORMAIL} -A"X-Folder: Bulk" >>${MAILDIR}/spam


:0 fw:hamlock
| sb_filter.py

:0
* ^X-Spambayes-Classification: spam
${MAILDIR}/spam
---------------
