Yes I found the location where {Spam?} was added , in the 
spam.assassin.prefs.conf.

Headers are now for the mailscanner machine : X-Unetix-....

but still the subject line and the to line are altered, the
subject line is gone alltogether and the To: line
is altered to : To: undisclosed-recipients:;
This happens with 9 out of 10 mails that originate from the
mailserver that transports the mail originally for
wim at unetix.nl to wim at bhagwato.eu (the last being my testdomain
the first my regular account). The original receiving mailserver:
mail.unetix.nl adds spam checker headers to :
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.7 (2006-10-05) on
	mailgateway.unetix.nl
X-Spam-Level:

On the mailscanner machine I tried to strip them with
remove_header all Level
and
remove_header all Checker-Version
but that didn't work. I still think they are the
cause of the trouble , because it only happens with mail
that contain X-Spam headers from another mailserver that
allso checks for spam.

Thanks
