legit emails going to junk folder

i have a user, jon, that when an email comes from user a, the emails get moved to the junk folder. i placed a rule that when jon receives an email from USER A, to move into the inbox. that doesn't seem to work. also, i manually moved USER A's email into the inbox, just to then see them back in the junk folder. what gives? also, USER A is on the allowed list. ive also noticed that jon's emails from co workers internally are getting moved to the junk folder as well.

please advise

thanks

ok. so this is what i did. i took the user off cache mode. deleted his .ost file. either moved or deleted what was in his junk folder to where there were no emails. then BOOM, the emails i moved or deleted came back. see attachment. the user does have a much of email addresses in both allow and deny but none seem legit in the deny.

If you have addresses in the allow/deny lists, then the first thing I would do is empty them.
In most cases populating the deny list is a complete waste of time and will have no impact on the amount of spam the user gets.

As you have cached mode disabled, this looks like a third party tool is moving the content.
