This is only a problem if the UCD spam filter were to actually block the message from getting to your inbox. As of now it is just "tagging" the message with a warning. The last lines show the reasons it thinks it is spam. The main reason seems to be that is scans the body content and it thinks it is spam. Not sure what we can do about that. It does look like spam.

The only suggestion I have is for you to send to ithelp@ucdavis.edu with this information.

Another option is to change your email address in your profile on the website to your gmail address. Then the email never goes through UCD servers, so you won't get the warning.

i looked into this, but didn't really get a suitable solution from UCD folks. Seems like this is something that they can't change for us. We have to make our emails such that it doesn't look like spam to UCD, which isn't that clear how to do. Closing.
