I'm guessing this is because Spamarrest is part of the "Sponsored Toolbar
Link" in Eudora (when running in Sponsor mode). The icon is prevalent and
there is a free 30 day trial - by the sound of it their campaign is
working, albeit annoying to mailing lists.

To remove the 'SPAM' icon from your Eudora toolbar, follow the instructions
found here:

http://www.eudora.com/email/sponsortoolinks.html

Question: If I don't want these buttons in my toolbar, can I delete them?
Yes. You can choose whether or not to include the Sponsored Toolbar Links
through the same procedure that allows you to control any other button on
the toolbar.
Windows users - Right click anywhere on the toolbar to display a drop-down
menu, then choose "Customize". The "Customize" window box appears. To
remove a button from the toolbar, click and drag the button off of the
toolbar and into the "Customize" toolbar window.
