Generally, it means a mail-server somewhere along the line between you and the recipient(s) is doing spam-filtering, based on a preset group of rules designed to detect spam.
Normal rules tend to look for things like:
- Is the email written 100% in HTML?
- Does the email consist of an embedded (not attached) image with no text?
- Does the text contain an overly-large percentage of capitals?
- Does the text contain a large number of website-links?
One or more of the above MAY be used, and there are lots more that can be used...
If you're interested in the FULL list used by one of the more recent (and more popular) anti-spam "scoring" systems, have a look here - it's a VERY long, list, though.

Does the error message return as an email, or do you get a pop-up window? If it's an email, can you post the FULL email in here? If it's a pop-up, can you either get a screen-grab of it or type the contents of the pop-up window in here?
Does it give any indication, from the error message, as to which mailserver is returning the emails as spam?
