In the following, I found that 83.24.191.15 is on the CBL 
(http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=83.24.191.15), which means you 
really can not trust the SMTP headers beyond that line (they are likely 
forged).

As for the "[SPAM?]" being added, I would say that it's not a Barracuda 
firewall or other device that's changing it, as they normally put 
"X-original-subject" headers, or other such info to indicate the subject 
has changed. I'd be looking at my spam-junk settings of the client (OE, 
Thunderbird, etc.). There are some keywords in the spam that could 
trigger this, or some Bayesian filtering that maybe is being done on 
your client when it received the mail (via POP?). Nothing in the headers 
says that the subject is getting changed anywhere else, but that doesn't 
mean your ISP is not doing it. My ISP originally had no clue about how 
their spam filtering was working when I started receiving "SPAM" 
indicators in the subjects... Customer support and email administrators 
sadly don't always communicate with each other if it's not in their job 
description.

I got so fed up at the time with my SMTP/POP service, that I switched 
over to Gmail. It's a system that's free and is mostly well managed. 
Spam goes in a "spam" folder and isn't really modified.

Your original post had only one "?" which didn't seem like a question. 
Perhaps we can better answer if you ask clearly what your question is.
