Yep, those are set up correctly. PM has a wizard to check if they are.
OK, then it's definitely your blank email from a .sn TLD with an empty message body. That's like 3 huge red flags. The .sn TLD shouldn't be a deal breaker, but it means you will always be scrutinized and need to make any emails with links or attachments look like they're not spam unless the sender and you have some established back and forth already.
If it were me, I would start up as many free temp addresses as I can and send test emails to them that don't look sketchy AF (text in the body only, then text with a link, then text with a PDF attachment) and see if you get the same results. If you have gmail addresses you can can access to use as well, be sure you use that. The problem with Gmail (in my experience at least) is that once an address pings for spam, it's spam until someone else manually says "oh, no, not spam." Possibly person by person. I've had to rescue more emails from spam than received spam to my inbox I had to dump to the spam folder. I have no idea, but other filters might work the same way.
Thank you, this is really good advice.
