Yours is a common concern; Spamassassin does add headers and can,
depending on settings, modify the subject line (rewrite_subject 1) or
attach a spam message as an attachment (report_safe 1/2)
If you simply want the original message format, add
rewrite_subject 0
report_safe 0
defang_mime 0
to /home/nbxsales/.spamassassin/user_prefs on the mail server, or
ask your ISP to do so. If you do not want to get any spam filtering done
at all, ask your ISP to add
all_spam_to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
As a side note, you might consider how your original message comes
across; someone reading it quickly might mistake your phrasing for someone
who's taking out their frustrations on a mailing list of people offering
free help for a free program that your ISP has made available to its
customers. If anything, your ISP needs to put up a web page describing
how they've implemented Spamassassin, how you can change its settings, and
how you can completely opt out of it if you choose.
Cheers,
- Bill

'Last week, one proponent of this argument, Scott Culp, manager
of Microsoft's security response center, coined the term "information
anarchy" to describe the current situation, comparing it with yelling
"fire" in a crowded movie house.
It appears Culp is more comfortable with an "information
dictatorship" or "information oligarchy" model, and has entirely missed
the fact that the movie house is on fire.'
