[***SPAM*** Score/Req: 05.40/05.00

[Guest]

I am getting above nonesense in a randon fshion in the subject line of my
e-mails using outlook. Does anyone know where the source of this is?
Example: from the same send sometimes I get it and sometimes not. Real
spams, for the most part do not ahve it!

Check your anti-spam program - Outlook is not doing this.

What mail server are you using? Sometimes those who run them will also run
somethign like Spamassassin that filters incoming mail and puts them through
a barage of tests to see if they are spam. If it deems they are, then it can
change the subject line to that. I run Spamassassin on my mail server but I
do not have it change the subject line. It also adds a new header to the
email that tells you the "spam" quality. To see how this works in layman's
terms, see <http://www.basilweb.net/SAinfo.html>.

Spam filter applications also can be run on a local machine that could
produce like results. Mcafee calls theirs SpamKiller.
