Emails marked as spam - SPF passes, DKIM passes, sender-id passes
I've been struggling to figure out why this is happening, but my emails are being marked as spam by Gmail and Hotmail (they work in Yahoo.)
SPF, DKIM, rDNS, and sender-id all pass. What's weirder is I've send the EXACT same email with its exact contents from my dev server and Gmail accepts it as not spam even though every one of those checks which passes in production fails in dev. Hotmail still marks it as spam though.
Any idea what could be going on? Here is an example header from Gmail (with IPs and domains changed for privacy):

Answer
The other guy doesn't know what he's talking about and just guessing.
'Received: (from root@localhost)' is your problem. That needs to reflect the from email...
