Upgrade your SA, 2.61 is quite old. As has been said in other threads -
SA is like anti-virus software: it needs to be kept updated.

Have you got an DSN's from other mail servers? Check if you're listed in
any DNSBLs. Most ISPs are [hopefully] running an up to date version of
SA. Usually if your message is rejected by the mail server, you'll get a
bounce from the 'sending' server to say that it couldn't deliver it.

Try sending from another email account, and try sending from your email
account to another, to see what happens, most importantly - check your
MTA logs - logs are invaluable.

I'm not totally sure about this one, since I don't know Eudora - you
could try upgrading to the latest version of SA, it may be that this
rule has been updated since then.

There have been several threads on bayes misclassifying mail as spam, or
ham. You can re-learn that mail as ham, and you can try feeding bayes
ham and spam to try and rectify the problem. However, a you may find it
easier to just completely nuke your bayes db and start over.
