Email down
Is there an email outage tonight? It started at 1am. Can't access webmail or pop3 on phone or pc.

will be flagged with --SPAM-- in front of the subject if the Webmail username is located anywhere within the body of the message
Can you confirm if this is a new change or just something you have now discovered? Might explain why people's email have been marked as spam over the years.
I can't confirm this is a new change. It's something I noticed while testing during the recent email maintenance. I first thought email was flagged as spam if the message contained an email address. I only noticed yesterday that it happens if just the Webmail username is anywhere in the message body.
If someone with email address stan@cox.net received Webmail from someone using Outlook that just says "Please reply the instant you receive this.", it would be flagged as spam.
This is a new discovery made with limited resources. There's one variable I can't readily test. I use the same username for both Outlook and Webmail. If the developer didn't account for that, it could confuse their code. To properly test this, an Outlook user needs to send an email to a Webmail user with a different username and include the Webmail username in the body.
