And one of the major reasons for that is apparently simply that your "From:" address is not a good one: From: reiser@reload.namesys.com (Hans Reiser) where "reload.namesys.com" is not in the MX domain: dig -t MX reload.namesys.com gives no answer. As a result, spam detectors look at the From: line and consider you an extremely suspect person, likely to be up to no good. I would suggest you fix your mailer to have a valid MX-record return address, ie instead of . (Yes, I realize that both addresses likely work perfectly fine, and that "reload" is the machine you actually use for sending the email, but still.. I bet I'm not the only one who uses spam filtering software that cares about issues like this.)
