No, that is not the problem. Sending a message with a different e-mail address will have your message land in the moderator queue, and you will get an e-mail saying so. If it goes through and ends up in the spam folders of people subscribed to the list, then the only relation to e-mail address used, may be that certain e-mail providers often have more spam sent through them, and thus, your e-mail address may be identified as spam.
Beyond that, sometimes the e-mail message simply reads as if it could be spam, as not everyone is a native English speaker, and sometimes certain combinations of words and various typos, will simply be caught by spam filters. I have definitely seen mails from others on this list end up in the spam folder in gmail. But my local spamassassin config is a bit smarter, and it doesn't tend to send them to spam, when I go pull them out of gmail's spam folder.
