how does the word "[SPAM]" get put into my email message?
I am getting email delivered to my mail Inbox and the subject is being changed to include [SPAM] at the begining of the Subject line. I can not find where it is coming from or how to get rid of it. I am using Outlook 2007 on an XP machine.
It could be a spam filter on the server. What kind of e-mail server do you have?

My email server is hosted at Softlayer. When I log into the Webmail account there is no indication of [SPAM] on any email. I have set up that server to deliver Spam mail with ****SPAM**** and none are getting into my Inbox only the ones with [SPAM] so it is coming from some other source. I cannot figure out where it would be coming from.
What settings do you have in Outlook in Tools/Options/Preferences/ Junk e-mail... ? That's where Outlook keeps the settings of the built-in spam filter.

I found that the setting was in my AntiVirus protection software (AVG) and it was set to change the Subject and input [SPAM]. I took off that setting and it now fine.
Thanks for the quick & great advise.
