It means that the server you sent to (the e-mail server for your
recipients) has spam filtering enabled and for some reason decided that
your e-mails were spam.

We see this on occasions with our too and it;s a rela pain. There is
nothing you can do unfortunately,

Corentin,
That doesn't explain why it's hap-pening on mail that "finicky" is sending
to himself (or herself) or why it started 2 days ago.

Perhaps finicky should contact the ISP handling the outgoing mail (the smtp
server).

Well it could. I've had the exact same problem myself. Our Net Admin
here implemented a spam filtering mechanism. It wasn't very well
configured and for a while, all my e-mails (and the ones sent by my
boss) were tagged as Spam.
Anything I'd send to myself or to other people on the same domain would
have that tag.

It sure isn't added by Entourage.

The server might indeed be blacklisted.....
I would contact both the ISP hosting the SMTP and the one from the
recipients.

Corentin had another good point. Perhaps your home ISP is on the list of
suspected spammers kept by your recipients' ISP, so it might be good to
check (or have your recipients check) that out too.
