First post - was directed here from stackoverflow!
The problem: Google marks seemingly correctly formatted emails from my apache/postfix server as spam. Sample email as follows;
(I have replaced my domain with mydomain.com.au and the IP with a pretend IP)

how did you hear about us: Newspaper
- I have tried sending it to non-google emails, and they arrive fine.
- I have tried posting to several different google accounts, all end up as spam.
- Mydomain.com.au uses Google Apps as email provider.
- I have added "v=spf1 a mx ~all" as TXT in my NS.
- I used http://remote.12dt.com/ to check reverse DNS and the IP seems to be resolving back to the domain name just fine.
- My IP is not blacklisted in spam-lists (as far as my checks can tell). I host at www.jumba.com.au - in Australia.
The headers seem fine, and the SPF look up seems to pass (?).. Any ideas?
Kind regards
