I changed "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" to "Log on using my username", which still produced <SPAM>.
I set it back to "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" and it doesn't now come in as <SPAM>.
It seems that the 'actual settings' were not the same as the 'reported settings'
I am glad that you have managed to solve the problem but I must admit I cannot see how changing that setting has achieved that. Well done for trying it though.
The "Log on using username and password" setting in Outlook is there to allow you to specify a different username and password to authenticate outgoing messages to those used with the incoming messages.
I would have thought that if there had been any issue with the credentials being used with the outgoing VM messages you would not have been able to send any virginmedia.com emails at all rather than them being sent but then flagged as spam.
If the problem does return, the source/message headers of one of your emails marked as <SPAM> (preferably taken direct from your webmail account) might offer some ideas as to why VM is marking them as spam.
