Well the first to do is probably to ask the provider of your smtp
server what rules they have in place. Even if that's not issue, the
fact that your sending email claiming to be from [email protected]
but not from an smtp server that's on gmail's SPF list makes it far
more likely that your messages will be classed as spam
