I'm admittedly new to this stuff, so please bear with me. I just got a message with the following explanations:
SPAM: -------------------- Start SpamAssassin results ---------------------- SPAM: This mail is probably spam. The original message has been altered SPAM: so you can recognise or block similar unwanted mail in future. SPAM: See http://spamassassin.org/tag/ for more details.

Also, why would the "From" lines having mixed numbers/no real name decrease the value? I realize I can change these values for myself if I choose, but I guess before I start messing with the values I'd like to understand the logic behind these settings. Thanks.
