Gmail is marking these mails as spam.  You need to set up SPF/DKIM records for your domain.  Also, you should probably send mail from a well formed address rather than root@forum.drugs-and-users.org.

Point taken but I get confused by SPF/DKIM.

The mail out was not critical but let me explore my options.

Again, thanks for caring.

shirobug , I have approached my DNS host because i can't see any options to add such.

SPF and DKIM both use DNS TXT records.  I can't imagine a DNS provider not allowing you to add a TXT record, it's pretty standard stuff.

yes, it does allow text records but since i asked, let's see what they say in response to my ticket.
