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.
