Did you actually enable the Spam filter panel ?
If already on, then try disabling and Saving the panel, and then re-enable and Save the panel.
Also check your users procmail rules to see that they are correct, these should be automatically setup by the spam filter contrib at installation time.
Also note that you should not alter the forwarding setting in the User section of server manager as this will disable procmail and stop junkmail filtering from working.
You can install the User Manager contrib to check if each users forwarding settings are set to procmail.
If that still doesn't work, then uninstall the spam filter rpms, and then run the install scripts from knuddi's site again. Doing that will reconfigure procmail for all users.

Increase the time out delay in the users email clients.
In the sme 6 RBL implementation, your IP is checked against external RBL lists for all outgoing & local mail, thus causing delays. If you have a slower outgoing speed (which most people do) and a few busy users, then you can run into timing issues.
I would only implement 4 lists maximum, try these
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
relays.ordb.org
dnsbl.njabl.org
whois.rfc-ignorant.org

sme 7 handles the RBL checking differently and your IP is not checked against RBL lists, so you should not have these delays. Upgrade to sme 7.
Alternatively there were some suggestions posted in the forums re how to stop your IP being checked on sme 6.
See the information at the very end of the howto titled
Excluding internal IP's from being scanned against RBL lists
