*) We cannot know why Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo marks your mail as SPAM.
*) What do you mean "rdns"? reverse DNS?
*) Does your mail server have a static IP address?

yes, it means reverse DNS, my hostname mailserver mail.anaktimur.com
yes, i host it in vps, my ip 192.210.238.172
mail-tester.com will test your mail server, the mail server must sent email to mail-tester.com
and they will exemine email that you sent will go to spam or inbox with score
they also exemine the configuration of your mail server like spf, rdns, DKIM, and blaklist ip

well, i know you are very-very-very-very advance with iredmail, so i want to ask a question
if you create new user in iredadmin and sent email to your gmail account, is your email go to spam folder

What you can do is, setup required DNS records (A/MX/DKIM/SPF, and reverse DNS) first, check whether your server IP address is listed on http://spamhaus.org/.

Gmail/Hotmail and many ISPs will use spamhaus.org, so make yourself clear on that site.

iRedMail is not an open relay by default, so nothing to do.

Seems correct for the first look / if you use  mail-tester.com, it shows you description of all negative scores received. Just go one by one and fix it...

No one care about this mail header, no mail client will use it, MTA doesn't use it too. So, forget about it.
