Why are my emails going to spam?

All of a sudden on Monday emails I send to my friends and family and
coworkers are all going to spam. Even if I send myself an email it goes to
spam. Comcast says it's a problem with McAffee and of course McAfee says it
is Comcast. But it only happens when I send the emails through outlook....if
I go direct to the comcast.net site and send them they go through fine.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I would think if it was a McAffee problem that when using something like
Thunderbird I would have the same issue wouldn't I? I installed Mozilla
Thunderbird today and the emails go through fine....just not through outlook.
Seems there was an update yesterday for 2003 that was about junk
email...could this be causing a problem? There should be a way around it....

Not a logical conclusion at all.

Uninstalled McAfee, rebooted and tested....still going to spam. Seems
something on the outlook level....Never had this issue before upgrading to
2003....could it be because I am using Vista and outlook 2003? It just
started happening this week...prior to this no issues. I added myself as
safe sender.... Again ONLY happens when sending email through outlook. I
love outlook, but these issues have me ready to throw the computer through
the window LOL.

Hard to believe I can't find anyone else having this issue. McAfee had me
test and said it wasn't on their end. Comcast says it isn't on their
end....and can't seem to find anyone else having this issue....

This has absolutely nothing to do with outgoing mail, only incoming mail. You
should not add your own address as a safe sender.
Again ONLY happens when sending email through outlook. I

If other people are seeing your messages as spam, then the problem is probably
outside your control. Your Outlook likely has nothing to do with it. SPAM
classification is performed on the receiving end.

But even messages I send to MYSELF come as SPAM. It ONLY happens if I send
it through outlook to myself or anyone else. My husband gets my emails as
spam....he has never marked me as spam. It has to have something to do with
Outlook since the problem is only when sending emails through outlook. If I
send from comcast.net website it comes through fine, not under spam. If I
send through Mozilla Thunderbird, it comes through fine. ONLY when I send
through outlook....and only since like Monday of this week it has been a
problem. I am thinking there must be some sort of hidden spam filter on
outgoing emails. It doesn't matter if I send it to 1 or 50 people....
