Outgoing Email Gets Junked

Hi,

I've configured my fedora server running sendmail for multiple domains. Receiving mail is fine.
Sending mail works however if I log onto my machine as say root and send a mail like so

/usr/sbin/sendmail marvin_wright1@hotmail.com
From: donotreply@letsbulgaria.com
Subject: Test
test message

Hotmail puts it in the junk folder. I get the same too when my web app sends a mail to hotmail

On the same machine I also have openwebmail where I can log in as the donotreply user and send the same mail to hotmail and it works fine straight into the inbox.

I've set up my genericstable and virtusertable files and enabled these in my sendmail.mc file.

I'm a bit stumped at the moment.

Here are the 2 maillog entries that get created

When I invoke sendmail from root command prompt
-----------------------------------------------

Any advice on what I need to do would be great.

Many Thanks

Marvin
