You had the right idea, but I need more explanation.  We use Declude, of
course, for both AV and Spam.  I found the relevant log info in the spam
log, but I don't quite understand how this worked out.  I've included the
log info below.

12/09/2003 18:08:18 Q800d10d501486618 Msg failed PERCENT (). Action=HOLD.

This means that the E-mail failed the PERCENT test, and it was quarantined (the HOLD action).


This was outgoing mail from one of our clients (virtual IMail domain); how
did it get filtered?  And why was it filtered?

It got blocked because it failed the PERCENT test, which is used to get around a situation where mail can be relayed through a backup mailserver.


This was just a meeting announcement for a dozen or so people, so what happened?

Most likely, the problem is that an invalid address was used, such as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". It's technically legal, but very outdated, and causes huge problems (IE spammers can relay).
