The server isnt whitelisted, and the spam coming through are usually
tagged with a couple points, but not enough to trigger anything.  I just
forwarded one of the emails through the server and it was marked as
spam.

Only possible explanation I can think of is that this Server is some how
white listed. What rule sets have you modified?
