1) don't send HTML emails. Baysian filters scan them and assign
spaminess scores. Apparently you emails are spammy enough to trigger
the filter. Switch to ASCII emails with a single embedded URL. That's
usually OK.

2) change web hosting providers to one that doesn't allow spammers on
their system. Some web ISPs allow their customers to send emails
without a double opt-in policy. That gets them on the black hat block
lists. Switch to a web host that doesn't do this. Check if you're on
SPAMCOP's block list here:

3) stop sending spam to people and your email address won't flagged as
such.
