Some hosting providers provide an automatic bounce message back to the
sender for suspected spam. The suspected email is placed in a "SPAM"
mailbox on the hosting server until the original sender manually clicks on
the "Authorize" (read real person) link in the bounce message. At least my
hosting provider does and it works great. You might want to think about
changing providers.
