Junk Spy works between your email client and your email host;
it has a list of "detectors" which checks against each message
which it picks up from the host; it adds a line or two into the
message header; and passes the message on to the client (PMMail
in this discussion). PMMail then applies its filters to the
message; one of which should check for the headerline inserted
by JunkSpy for messages which it detected as junk. 

If this filter is first in your sequence you'll be able to see
which messages were missed by JunkSpy; if this filter is last
in your sequence, inbound messages will be processed first by
your filtering system, and if any of them get through to the
JunkSpy filter, you'll see what it caught that you didn't.
