I'm having the exact same problem - if only they had "stop running rules"
after the junk filter it would have solved it. The only way I found, which
is limited, is to have it delete the messages instead of moving them to the
junk folder. This is permanent deletion, so any "kosher" messages will be
gone forever - so I use it only with the lowest settings of the filter,
which is not as good as I'd like.

Anyone with a better solution will be announced as the Junk Rule Hero!
