I've had this issue in the past, usually its because spamassasin is
'doing to much work'. It can be simplified by commenting out some of
the spamassassin plugins in its configuration file.

If you want to remove it completely, try visiting the Settings menu ->
configure filters, and look for the spamassassin filters in the left
hand list.
