Answer 1

1. Ask your "leads" to whitelist your e-mail address. If they want your e-mails, they'll be happy to do that.

2. Don't use a free e-mail service like Yahoo or Hotmail. Use the account provided by your ISP. Better yet, register your own domain and use that e-mail address.

There's nothing you can do to guarantee delivery. If your messages look "spammy" there is a strong likelihood that they will be blocked by the recipient's SPAM filter.

Since you used the word "leads" my guess is that you're trying to sell something. Any e-mail that makes a sales pitch is likely to be filtered as SPAM. And if you are e-mailing these people "cold" then your e-mails ARE SPAM! SPAM is defined as Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail or UCE. If they haven't requested information from you, then you are a SPAMMER by definition!

Answer 2

Besides what said are you absolutely positive your PC doesn’t generate SPAM or infected letters? Many ISPs as well web hosting services maintain black lists of e-mail addresses and IPs (at occasions entire IP ranges), which has been identified (or presumed) as SPAM-ing, zombied PCs.
Typical symptoms of compromised PC is its significantly slower performance and unresponsiveness, still it is possible and probable that infected PC could not produce any obvious symptoms at all. You could try checking it by observing your traffic from PC over some period of time with packet sniffer, eventually by scanning PC with number of online (preferably besides resident) scanners:

PS.
Even I suspect that blacklisted IP would rather produce “mail denamon server refuse massage” error than redirection to bulk folder, large number of people reporting on many forums, having their e-mail addresses and IPs falsely blacklisted as SPAM-ers.
