spam assassin

Hi. I was just testing sending emails to my other account and my emails all get marked with an attached *****SPAM***** in the  subject when i send to an email account with spam assassin activated. I believe it is because of a fault in the email header. Here is the email that i sent from my account. This is the header. I believe the problem is that the word mundohi is supposed to be a machine not a username. Please help.

There is a option in Spam-assassin to whitelist certain e-mail Ids that is often tagged (incorrectly) as spam.

Cpanel>>mail>>configure spam-assassin>>whitelist-from

Please try whitelisting and check the status.

Do correct me incase I've misunderstood the issue..

no. It's not incoming mail that is the problem, it's that spam assassin posted email that i am sending as spam.
