Scott's suggestions are good. When I had the same issues, I went to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.dnsstuff.com">http://www.dnsstuff.com</a> and ran a free trial of their "Mail Server
Test Center". I typed in my MX record, and it ran several checks on
my DNS. It gave me a thorough analysis of things I needed to do (
including DKIM and SPF ) to make mail from my server more friendly
to other mail relays. <br>
<br>
One of the more simpler kinks that will get mail from your server
listed as spam almost every time is failing to have a reverse PTR
for your DNS MX record. In other words, when you do `dig
mymailserver.whatever.com`, whatever IP address returns would result
in the name mymailserver.whatever.com when you `dig
the.ip.address.returned` ( a reverse lookup ). Mail Server Test
Center runs some of these more simpler checks too.<br>

SPF requires a TXT DNS entry, and DKIM could be incorporated into
your Mail::Sendmail routines

A little off topic but I thought I see if anyone has experience
with this. I work for a start up here in town called
Ourbucketlist.com.
<br>
<br>
We send out emails to users when they sign up for the site
(have been using Mail::Sendmail ). But our emails are often
blocked by the spam
<br>
filters of Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and so on.
<br>
<br>
Does anyone know of some tips to help get around spam filters?
We are not spam!! :)
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you.
