You should also check with Spam clearhouse services like Spamhaus and see if you've been listed as a spam site. This can happen if the mailer is set up incorrectly. Unfortunately I can't find my notes on what I did to fix it, but I think it has to do with whether a reply to the sending address gets bounced. After changing our configs, we had to go and request delisting from the spam blockers.

Thanks for your tip. I sent mail to www-data@neo101.org and www-data@d.neo101.org to see if it bounces. I'm new at configuring mail so I'll just wait a week to see if it bounced since as far as I can remember it can take several days before I get a notice an email has bounced. However, I don't think it will bounce because I ran the bash mail command after I ran "su - www-data" and I could read the mail I sent as a test. So I think the mail gets tagged as spam because neither gmail nor hotmail has ever received mail from these particular ips/domains/subdomains before and therefore do not dare to trust me. I guess the trust will be built up over time though as more and more people click their "this was not spam"-buttons as suggested by another poster.
