There’s a checklist for ensuring you don’t end up as spam:
- Check MX Blacklists, see if your box is present on them
- Make sure your PTR is valid
- Make sure your mailserver isn’t identifying itself as ‘localhost’
- Make sure that your SPF record is set and is allowing your box to send mail
- Make sure that you are not actually spamming

Also to test the mail score of your emails you can use a website like:
and then send a valid test - an exact email with a valid - subject, message body, full signatures and attachments.
