Bummer :-(

Try sending to a different address, preferably a mailbox you can access
directly before any spam filtering takes place. If it doesn't get through,
then maybe your server isn't configured properly. If it does get through then
post the headers here so we can have a look (not forgetting to obscure the
email addresses first!).

If your headers are OK and you can send mail to other domains then perhaps
you've been blacklisted for some other reason. Are you emailing from a
virtually hosted site? When you share a server with 500 other websites,
there's a good chance one of them is sending out spam and getting the server
blacklisted. Tiy can check this by running a spam database lookup at
<http://www.dnsstuff.com/> -- just enter your server's IP address and see
what comes back.
