Sequence of Junk Identification

I have a political organization spamming me. It's virtually impossible to get such organizations to stop. They just change domains and move on.

They are so infuriating that I don't even want to see them in my Junk folder, I want them to go directly to Trash.

I set up a filter to do that. When I receive email from <political.org> it should go to Trash.

But I'm still seeing it in my Junk folder.

If I run the filter on the Junk folder, then it does what I ask, and moves it to Trash.

But I want it to do that as soon as the email is downloaded.

In the settings for the filter, "Apply filter when Getting New Mail: Filter Before Junk Classification" is checked, so I would think it would work that way, but it's not.

The only thing I can think of us that perhaps my email provider (yahoo.com) is marking it as Spam/Junk before it lands in my inbox.

Does anyone have thoughts on what I might look at?

Are there headers I can look at that indicate what app/service has marked something as Spam/Junk?

Thanks.

TO check Yahoo, shut thunderbird down, log onto yahoo and see what it does to the messages.
