This is a notorious version. Not only is it hopelessly outdated, it used to contain broken features way back...

The mail is very awkwardly structured, I had trouble spotting the actual question FTR. You may set mail_debug to yes:

$ grep mail_debug *
10-logging.conf:#mail_debug = no

This will then produce verbose logging and most likely will help spotting the reason why the mail is not filed. Inject a mail with logging raised and post the relevant log excerpt here for further analysis. I have a feeling that it should just say fileinto "SPAM", but difficult to say without seeing log output.

Current Dovecot versions also have the benefit of the sieve-test tool which lets you apply rules to mailboxes and see what would happen, or refilter mail if you're happy with the outcome of the dry-run.
