It doesn't look like any of the things Spam Assassin is complaining about
have anything to do with JavaMail. They have everything to do with the
content of the message. Maybe you should post the content of the message
so we can see that it's not spam and help you modify it so that SpamAssassin
doesn't complain about it? Or, you can look at the things SpamAssassin is
complaining about and fix them yourself.
You should also try sending a trivial plain text message and see if Yahoo
marks that as spam.

Thank you very much for you reply. And I agree with you about this problem, I think that is the problem about the Spam Assassin filter rule. But In fact I am not fimilar with the Spam Assassin rule,please give me a hand.
Here is the mail content(I replaced our project name to XXX for some business reason,sorry for that).

Several of the things SpamAssassin is complaining about are quite obvious.
It says you have HTML content but no <html> tag. Yup, that's true.
It says you're using a dotted-decimal address instead of a hostname in
your URL. Well, I don't know what %preChatUrl% expands to, but you can
check that yourself.
It says you have no real name in the From address. Again, you haven't
included that information here, but that's easy to check and correct.
It says your message is 10% - 20% HTML. Well, I didn't count it myself,
but that might be true. You can easily add more non-HTML text to your
message.
All of this should've been obvious from the SpamAssassin report. Did you really
need me to explain it? Do you just not understand the terminology used in the
report? You might want to check the SpamAssassin documentation for a more
complete explanation.
