No?

Given your

that's a 70%+ confidence level of spam according to Bayes.

What do you mean "killed"?

Yes, it should have been flagged as spam, and as far as I can tell here,
it WAS flagged as spam.

Once flagged as spam, then what matters is whether your paramters a)
change the subject header, b) generate a report, c) keep the email
basically as is or create an attachment for the spam. Whichever options
are chosen, the spam will make it to your inbox unless you have some
other piece of software intercept it.

SA does not change the routing of spam -- it only flags spam.

So the questions as I see it:
1) Did your email not get flagged as spam in its headers?
2) What is supposed to prevent spam from reaching your inbox, and have
you somehow lost that interface?
