I have to second the advice to send email from a different domain.
It's just going to be the case that the .date TLD is abused by
people sending shadier dating-related emails and the operators of
that TLD have poisoned the well by making it cheap and easy to do
so.

Even if you somehow got negative scoring in SpamAssassin fixed for
your specific domain, there's going to be countless private,
non-SpamAssassin-based rule sets out there that penalise .date
domains.

It is a similar argument to "why can't I send email out from
$ARBITRARY_GHETTO_HOSTER ? I'm not a spammer!" You can argue forever
that as you're not a spammer and can prove you've never sent any
spam, ever, why would receivers penalise you just for being at an
hoster that is popular with a problematic class of clientele? The
answer being that recipients are just working with what info they
have, and it'll be hard work to convince a significant number of
them that you're different. Is the work worth it? Generally not;
other options exist.

Thanks,
Andy
