OT: Why does my Google hosted email gets caught in others spam filters?

Only thing I can think of is that you're not using the Google outbound SMTP gateway?
As long as you're using your GAFYD account on the Google SMTP gateway, then Google
is doing the SPF and DomainKey stuff, so there's no good reason for it to end up in SPAM filters.

That said I've noticed certain popular email systems do seem to have something that flags email from
Google rather frequently; I suspect it's a rule that specifically targets Gmail or Google Apps emails
as being somehow more likely to be SPAM (which is garbage), but I can't be certain.
