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.

Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::PhishTag(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation		 Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::PhishTag(3pm)

NAME

       PhishTag - SpamAssassin plugin for redirecting links in incoming emails.

SYNOPSIS

	loadplugin     Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::PhishTag

	trigger_ratio	 0.1
	trigger_target	 RULE_NAME  http://www.antiphishing.org/consumer_recs.html

DESCRIPTION

       PhishTag enables administrators to rewrite links in emails that trigger certain tests, preferably anti-phishing blacklist tests. The plugin
       will inhibit the blocking of a portion of the emails that trigger the test by SpamAssassin, and let them pass to the users' inbox after the
       rewrite. It is useful in providing training to email users about company policies and general email usage.

OPTIONS

       The following options can be set by modifying the configuration file.

       o   trigger_ratio percentage_value

	   Sets the probability in percentage that a positive test will trigger the email rewrite, e.g. 0.1 will rewrite on the average 1 in 1000
	   emails that match the trigger.

       o   trigger_target RULE_NAME http_url

	   The name of the test which would trigger the email rewrite; all the URLs will be replaced by http_url.
