i'm mail admin and works with spam filters .... I tell you some tricks to fix your problem:
1- If you email is HTML based, it should be correct..... 2- If you put a "unsuscribe" code with the email address of the recipient the spam filter "score" high your email. 3- If you send a mail header X-Mailer: PHP some filters "score" high This are only a little tricks , for testing you should install a test spam filter , for example bogofilter, spamassassin ,or DSPAM. For example i have spamassassin configured to tell me what rules score my messages.
