Since changing to embarqmail.com last Sunday each post I've made to this list 
has been marked-up as "possible spam". Is Embarq that screwed up? Or is 
Synacor? Here are the markups on the one I just posted:

X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org
 X-Old-Spam-Flag: YES
 X-Old-Spam-Status: Yes, score=8.98 tagged_above=-10 required=6.6 
tests=[AWL=1.313,
        BAYES_99=3.5, NORMAL_HTTP_TO_IP=0.175, RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL=1.946,
        RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL=2.046]

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Well, the X-Old-Spam-Status *does* say:
RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL=1.946 (NJABL: dialup sender did non-local SMTP)
RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL=2.046 (SORBS: sent directly from dynamic IP address)

This adds a total of 3.992 to your score. Without these, you'd have a score of 4.988 which would not classify your email as spam.
I guess it's not really Embarq that's screwed up or something, but the thing is that your IP is listed as dynamic. (And a bayes score of 3.5 isn't exactly helping you either..)
