It depends on the spam filter that is being used (as I said above).
One way with most spam filters tends to be to add the "from" email
address to the address book.

how to feed emails through SpamAssassin..c an u pls expalin it in
details
First, it is inpolite to reply to me on email rather than in the
newsgroup. Second, you want my help but you can't be bothered to write
"you" or "please" or to check your email message for spelling errors.
SpamAssassin (http://spamassassin.apache.org/) is a spam filter. It runs
on several opering systems, such as Windows and Linux. If you install it
and start it, it expects an email message as input and will give you
an altered email message as output, such as this:
X-Spam-Flag: YES
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.0 (2007-05-01) on server.drones
X-Spam-Level: *****
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=5.1 required=4.0
tests=FH_FROMEM L_NOTLD,MISSING _DATE,
MISSING_MID,NO_ RECEIVED,NO_REL AYS,TO_MALFORME D,TVD_SPACE_RAT IO
autolearn=no
version=3.2.0
X-Spam-Report:
* 0.0 MISSING_MID Missing Message-Id: header
* 0.0 TO_MALFORMED To: has a malformed address
* 2.2 FH_FROMEML_NOTL D E-mail address doesn't have TLD (.com,
etc.)
* 0.0 MISSING_DATE Missing Date: header
* -0.0 NO_RELAYS Informational: message was not relayed via SMTP
* 2.9 TVD_SPACE_RATIO BODY: TVD_SPACE_RATIO
* -0.0 NO_RECEIVED Informational: message has no Received headers
From: me
To: you
Subject: hello
bla
As you can see, SpamAssassin thinks this email is spam, amongst others
because the email address does not have a top level domain (.com etc.).
To be able to do this, you need your email with headers attached. Maybe
phpmailer can supply that. Otherwise, you can email yourself, save the
email and pass it through SpamAssassin.
