How did you feed this message into SpamAssassin?
Did you do something to strip off all of the email headers?

For the BAYES_99, as already mentioned you probably need to retrain
bayes, making sure to correct any incorrectly trained email messages.

Hello all,
 I'm facing a strange problem.


Not really. MANY people run into this issue...

I've feed the bayes db for a while and now I would like to put it in 
use

but all messages get a BAYES_99 and very high spam point.
I would like to understand why, and troubleshoot this problem but I 
can't

find a way.


The only reasons that can happen are:

1. All of your mail is in fact spam.
2. Your Bayes DB is mis-trained.

The fix (assuming #2) is to recreate the Bayes DB with proper training.

*IN THEORY* one could fix a corrupted DB by 'unlearning' messages which 
learned incorrectly, but as a practical matter that's usually a fantasy.


Most of the scanning and DB details that you included are not useful. 
You cannot fix the bad DB, you need to rebuild it.
