My emails go to Junk or come up as Spam when I use my @mac.com account

Why do my emails go to Junk folders or come up as Spam when I use my @Mac.com account. If I can't use that address as my outgoing mail why would I use it at all?

There is one caveat that comes to mind—


"If you use a non-iCloud SMTP server, don't use your iCloud email address as a "Send From" address. Otherwise, your email might not deliver or it might deliver to the recipient's Junk folder."
