'HELO yourbox' doesn't match your ISP's, or the like. Reverse DNS is also something often used as a criterion. They may use that when filtering, it's very common (which IMHO is kinda silly, they should instead use a Bayesian filter and let the user dump their spam into a SPAM folder, then use that periodically for training the filter). You may even be unfortunate as to being part of a blacklisted IP block by one of the anti spam houses whose databases are often used for filtering. It's hard to say what exactly they do.

If you like us to help you then you sould at the at least include all information on how you mail system is setup. If you wan't to now way yahoo/lycos/hotmail places your emails in to spam mails then you should ask then why this is. There little we can do about that. Another good source for help is your own provider. You do forward you mail don't you?
