Thanks for your reply.

Everything I can find on the web says that by default this e-mail should not be scanned but it is, look at the headers:This is under your control when you configured spamassassin to run on your incoming email. SpamAssassin itself is simply the mail scanner. It only classifies messages. The configuration of what email you send into it is up to other additional software.How did you configure it?
I used the supplied Debian configuration to Spamassassin, which is why I'm reporting it. But still, any help would be really appreciated.
On Debian systems the most common way is to use procmail to send email through spamassassin and then react to the results of the classification. But there are other possible ways to configure it too. In any case if you have configured it to classify incoming email then it will classify incoming email because that is what it has been configured to do.
I use spamass-milter. Does that have any bearing?
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/StartUsing Please tell us how you have configured spamassassin on your system.
Any specific files you want? Please let me know and I'll happily forward them.
