Your message matched some phrase that SpamAssassin thinks is spammish.
Don't worry about this one too much.

Your mail software is broken; you are sending messages without
Message-ID headers.  (It got to xfree86.org before anyone thought to add
a message-id.  Mail is never supposed to leave its source machine (or at
worst, source network) without a Message-ID.)

Your mail provider is on several blacklists.  The RFC-Ignorant one is
the most severe, because you have to be *really* stupid to run an ISP
in such a fashion as to meet the rfc-ignorant criteria.  I would suggest
that you find a new ISP; eircom really does suck (I get as much spam
from them as I do from any of the major US ISPs).
