Default E-mail Address Messages to Junk

At about 8pm this evening, Entourage decided to start sending any
message addressed to me to the Junk folder. Initially, I used the Mac
disc utility to repair permissions. When that didn't work, I verifed
the entourage database and found problems. I rebuilt the data base.
When that didn't work, I made sure my domain was in the safe list, then
I turned off Junk and disabled all the rules. When that didn't work, I
deleted Entourage from my MAC G4 the reinstalled it from my Office MAC
2004 PRO disk and reinstalled all updates via ms autoupdate. However,
this still has not solved the problem. Has anyone else had this
problem, and of course, any solutions?

After several hours and all the attempted fixes I noted above, I've
found the culprit. In Entourage Mailing List Manger, I found a
malicious rule named <[email protected]>. It set my e-mail
address so that all messages sent to it were moved to Junk E-mail. This
looks like a malicious command that somehow got placed into Entourage.
Not exactly a virus, but definately some outside my system was able to
create the Mailing List rule. Once I deleted it, I sent a test email to
myself and it appeared in the inbox.
