I can do for now. Whenever a crojob is run a message is sent out via
postfix to me with the contents of that cronjob. This morning when the
SA-Update cronjob was run I didn't receive the output back (this has
been going on since 7 June but that's another story). I looked at my
syslog and saw this:

https://pastebin.com/hHR0Rvii

Since I can't see the debug output of SA-Update I have no idea what
CenturyLinks spam filter hit on. I looked back through a weeks worth of
syslogs and this is the only time that the message was rejected for
containing spam. Any ideas what was in the latest rule updates to cause
this?

Not without seeing the message itself. Is there any way for you to pastebin a copy of the message that was sent?

Can you twiddle the aliasing so that the message is (temporarily, at least) delivered to a local mailbox in addition to the regular recipients?

It's not *too* surprising that cron output would trip over spam filters, as the output from shell processes can hit rules intended to detect obfuscatury formatting or gibberish, and doesn't generally look like english text.

As the message is being bounced by an ISP server, it's unlikely you will be able to get trust defined. This is a hazard for using ISP mailboxes for purposes like this.
