How to avoid being marked as spam

I am trying to send emails to some banks through my school email which uses google mail (still in the format of [email protected]) but I am receiving the error "550 550 5.4.1 (state 14) access denied", which after searching google, tells me that I am being marked as spam by the company.

Some of these emails are to people that I have already been referred to. How do I avoid being marked as spam by these banks?

-less generic title? -through a gmail or yahoo address? -include more personal information such as address?

Thanks

THREE QUICK TIPS

1 - 1 recipient per e-mail 2 - Spread out your emails. If the server gets 10 emails from you in 2 minutes it will most likely block you 3 - Length of e-mail makes a difference - dont just have 1 or 2 sentences

 

Covered all three parts, maybe it was because I typed the email out and then justified the alignment to a thin column like this?

Anymore insight would be helpful. Thanks

Would a personal email address be better than a .edu address
