If you are not spamming it should be go to directly to inbox. Gmail has very smart filters, I guess they do check on how many similar emails are there, minor differences like adding random numbers or text will confirm it as spam.

Other things you should look at if your domain or any IP's are blacklisted.

gmail uses following way to check spam, Check URL: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1366858?hl=en

If you have registered users for specific email subscription; Have then add to white list. Else if you are spamming on random emails, then it will be reported and your product and company can also get banned.

gmail-notify

gmail-notify(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   gmail-notify(1)

NAME

       gmail-notify - A Gmail Notifier

SYNOPSIS

       gmail-notify

DESCRIPTION

       gmail-notify  Gmail  Notifier  is  a Linux alternative for the notifier program released by Google, it is written in Python and provides an
       attractive and simple way to check for new mail messages.

       Open the notifier.conf file in your favourite text editor and edit the configuration options to match your system. Below is an  explanation
       of each option: (See notifier.conf.sample located in the /usr/share/doc/gmail-notify directory for a helpful example)

       gmailusername - fairly self explanatory, must be without the @gmail.com at the end

       gmailpassword - obvious

       browserpath - this is the full path to the browser that you want Gmail Notifier to open when you click the popup to goto your Gmail inbox

       voffset - this is the amount (in pixels) the popup will be displaced from the bottom of the screen, it will almost definitely need changing
       to suit your system, ideally, you want it to look like it came out of the bar along the bottom of the screen the best way to adjust  it	is
       to  run it initially with the default value and then add/remove from it then test again. Higher values result in the popup appearing higher
       up the screen.

       hoffset - same as above only this is the amount the popup will be displaced from the side of the screen. Higher	values	will  displace	it
       more to the left of the screen.

       checkinterval - this is how often Gmail Notifier will check for new mail (in ms), do NOT set it lower than 20000 (20 seconds), or the libg-
       mail library will not keep up, causing many strange side effects. If you need to check your mail more than  once  every	20  seconds,  then
       chances are your famous and don't have time to read your mail anyway.

       animationdelay  -  this	is the amount of time (in ms) that Gmail Notifier will wait before moving the popup up one step, when the popup is
       popping up, to high values will cause the animation to be jerky, to low values will cause tearing at the bottom of the  popup.  15ms  seems
       about right. Only small adjustments are necessary, best thing is to leave it alone.

       popuptimespan - this is the amount of time before the popup will disappear again after popping up you can set this to  whatever you want
