Duh!! Mistakenly thought I was posting to a different ng and my post
doesn't make much sense without adding some more info. 'Prolog' is an ISP
and they run email through (an old version of) SA and add this spam tag to
the subject line ***SPAMTAGPTD: (It used to be even longer.) There is
no way to opt out of having the email it identifies as spam tagged.

I know this probably isn't an appropriate question for this ng but wanted
to apologize and explain myself.
