Please could anyone explain, why the normally looking ordinary daily

Sure. Your system has a OCR scan of images (Optical Character
Recognition) and that test decided that this message was spam. That
test, all by itself. This is generally considered to be a Bad Idea™.

Yep, that's the one.
But it looks very much that Spam assassin does more harm then helps
people.
As there seldom any spam is catched but instead mostly I see normal
messages
alerted as spam.
Nooo... the admin of the mail server screwed something up. Either
that or what YOU consider spam and what the admin considers spam are
two very different things. This has NOTHING to do with SpamAssassin.
I'm an end user and don't have any acces to filter settings and
there is
noone else reachable to ask why things are wrong like this,
Then you need a better email service. Fortunately, there are many
many choices out there for email.
