Okay guys,
So I'm all set to fire out cold emails, except that whenever I try to email execs or MDs at their company email, the company firewall always blocks my email, since it thinks my cold email is spam.
What do? Have any of you encountered this problem?

school email or gmail?
i usually use my gmail to email them
I've only had that happen a couple of times. Perhaps change the wording of your email to make it sound less "spammy?" It's hard to say without seeing what you're sending but that could be the case.
Change the title of your email to "I'm Pregnant", no firewall blocks that because liability, etc.
How did you know your emails were being blocked?
because it had a response saying:
Technical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain pwpartners.com by smtp.pwpartners.com. [91.199.1.76].
OBVIOUSLY i was trying to email someone at PWP
You may want to get in touch with the webmaster/IT department of each firm you are contacting to get your email address off the blacklist.
