Question about sending TO gmail accounts

I just kicked off a test email to a Gmail Address - and got a complete rejection from Gmail.
(Sent via my ISP's mail server)

The response was that it was

... Our system has detected that this message is
550-5.7.1 likely unsolicited mail. To reduce the amount of spam sent to Gmail,
550-5.7.1 this message has been blocked. Please visit
550-5.7.1 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answ ... swer=18813

I did this with the demo (Haven't purchased yet)

I'm assuming the receiving system (in this case Gmail) Cannot identify what client sent the mail message - IE as far as Gmail is concerned it could have come from anywhere? Or do clients like Outlook and Apple Mail inject headers that Gmail uses to tell which client sent a message?

Just wondering, is it likely the banner at the bottom is likely what triggered the spam filter, or is there something else that I might need to watch out for?
 
Yes, the banner can trigger the Gmail spam filtering. Gmail actually looks at the message contents and the message subject.
