I have my own domain name, which is hosted by a large Internet service provider; yet when I send email to people from that domain it goes straight to their spam folder.
How do I fix this? It's bewildering.

Sounds like your domain has gotten flagged for spam. Either that or the subject lines you are using are flagged for spam. Most likely there's nothing on your end that you can do to stop it from going to their spam folder as your e-mail is making it to them before their spam filter is kicking it to their spam folder.

spam filters work on a word list method i.e. if some of the words are recognized it is considered spam re word your emails this might work
On the other hand your service provider might be recognized as a spam site then you have no choice but to get your emails sent to your friends spam folders. I check my spam folder every day or your friends can set your emails not to be spam through there spam filters for there emails most email providers give you an option I do it for some friends.

Chances are, the host company is listed on a DSN blacklist server and thus any mail coming from that host will be considered spam and subsequently trashed by spam filtering software on the server. Find another hosting company. Google will host your domain email for free, so you might give them a try.
