I am having an issue with sending HTML emails to Gmail.  I can send them to Yahoo, Hotmail, RR, AOL, etc. with no problem at all, but when I send them to Gmail I get kicked to spam.  I have checked my IP with a lot of different list to make sure it is not listed anywhere, which it is not. spamhaus =  is not listed in the DBLabuse.net = is not listed in the SBLabuse.net = is not listed in the PBLabuse.net = is not listed in the XBLspamcop = not listed in bl.spamcop.nethost 24.172.204.xxxxxx.204.172.24.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer xxxevents.com.host xxxevents.comxxxevents.com has address 24.172.204.xxxxxxevents.com mail is handled by 10 mail.xxxevents.com.I am just trying to send a very VERY basic HTML message (listed below).  I use an Ubuntu server, swiftmailer, multipart/alternative (HTML & plain), SPF = pass, and I am going to setup DKIM today to see if that fixes it (but I doubt it will)...  For now I will only post the message I sent that gets kicked to spam and can provide any details needed.<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd><html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml><head><title>Triathlon</title></head><body><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td><p>Thank you for attending our 4th annual Triathlon/Duathlon/5k at Hueston Woods State Park on August 12th.This event is held annually to raise research funding for Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and Muscular Dystrophy diseases.</p></td></tr><tr><td>                        <p>As you know the results and pictures have been posted on our home page at  since Sunday 8/13/2012.

I tried sending the exact message above (not containing any spam) and its still being caught.  I am at wits end with gmail.  Although I seriously doubt it is a system setting that is throwing me off, I am more than happy to email any information you may need to help me though this... As stated before my ip is clear, html validates with W3, removed all usage of spammy verbiage, and stripped out anything that I can think of that would cause it go to spam, send it and wham spam....EDIT:Thank you for your response Nick, Yes xxx was simply to mask it, although I am starting to think I will not get resolution this way.  If you think it will help let me know and I will just post the real html and we can see if we can get this thing going.EDIT:Thank you for your response Gabriel, I double checked my ip and got the follow results;    Test    ResultSMTP Reverse Dns    OK - 24.172.204.xxx resolves to xxxevents.comSMTP Reverse DNS Mismatch   OK - Reverse DNS matches SMTP BannerSMTP TLS    OK - Supports TLS.SMTP Connection Time    0 seconds - Good on Connection timeSMTP Open Relay     OK - Not an open relay.SMTP Transaction Time   0.593 seconds - Good on Transaction TimeOkay lets try it like this, this is the original message (quoted-printable) sent. xxx is just add for posting purposes.
