Mike, Spam and phishing email is a problem not just for the receiver but the dramatic increase in email volume has been overloading mail servers causing ISPs to either add capacity for messages that nobody wants or to devise ways to stop messages before at the perimeter of their system. Every system admin with mail server responsibility devises their own strategy. There is no universal method or algorithm. To make it even harder, the landscape is constantly changing. One day it could be that you are from Africa...you get lumped in with the Nigerian 'Prince scammers'. The next day, Africa is not as important, but when combined with routing through gmail and then a listserv is enough to tip the scales, flagging your message as spam or as possible phishing.
The point is that it is the receiving server admin that can answer your questions with any degree of certainty. If they use a scoring system that assigns points for various criteria, they should be able to tell you if any one criteria was responsible. But, it more likely several small scores that add up to push you over the threshold score. Nobody on this list can do anything but speculate. Demanding proof is absurd.
