(I changed the summary from 'x'. Please use a summary that makes sense when
submitting a bug)

It looks like you have a whitelist_from entry in your configuration for your
own email address. That is not a good idea, as spammers often use your email
address in both the From and To just to make this happen. That triggered the
USER_IN_WHITELIST rule for -100 points. Without that this spam would have had a
whopping 21 point score.

If you are really in the habit of sending yourself email, then use
whilelist_from_rcvd instead of whitelist_from so that it only triggers when it
is from your email address sent through the mail server that you use for
outgoing mail. i.e., when it really is from you.

I'm closing this bug as WORKSFORME
