New Mac OS X Server setup, when i send mail to gmail it goes straight to Spam. Why is that?

My setup: DNS - done (A records PTR are ok) Mail Setup - done Webmail - done

Also there seems to be a naming problem. They all come from [email protected] instead of [email protected]. I must be missing an alias somewhere.

I've read an entire book on setting this up so don't throw stones :) The GUI is masking a lot of this up for me, so explanations via GUI is appreciated.
