Answer 1

This is probably nothing to do with wordpress and everything to do with spam protection methods ... are you allowed to send email for that domain? Trying to send from [email protected] will definitely get you marked as spam - google SPF records for why, then make sure you have one. Make sure your email comes from a reputable domain that's installed properly on your server.

Answer 2

Just a guess, are you using EC2 or something similar?

outgoing mail from these server suffer from being marked as spam.
