We ran into this issue where we where tagging emails with ***SPAM*** and
forwarding them on which got us blocked everyone once in a while pretty
annoying.

Subject: RE: Yahoo and their mail filters..

We found this issue to be associated usually with users forwarding email
to
a Yahoo account.  If spam slips by our spam filters and gets forwarded
where
the enduser reports it as spam not realizing the impact on their
actions.

In the last couple of years we have been not allowing people to forward
their accounts to yahoo, aol, hotmail, etc.  Too much of a headache.
