Many spam filters will utilize various tests to eliminate email that
doesn't look like it came from a real person.
The most common thing you can change is to make the From line include a
name using an email formatted like:
"PHP General" <php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
I suspect PHP General also won't take email from itself anyway, so stick
with your own address.
Start comparing the mail headers you are sending with the ones that make
it through to the list.
You'll be able to fool it eventually...
