The Junk/Spam filters work by looking for key words. This post is a description of exactly which words the filter looks for and where the filter looks for them.
So if you are going to continuing using email marketing instead of desktop to desktop marketing this list could increase your overall delivery rates by 100%.

So if you have been buying email leads, using an autoresponder to send out your marketing campaign, and are not getting the results you believe you should be getting, maybe it’s time to look at your ad copy and make some changes.
I would also suggest looking into adding some new Web 2.0 marketing channels to your overall marketing campaign.
