Google Gmail Barracuda Spam Report - Prevent Google marking you email as SPAM

If you find that your website is sending legitimate mail is marked as SPAM, I have a solution for you.

Problem Statement: 
A client's site used PHP mailer program (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/?source=dlp) had been set-up to perform standard website communications with a web-user, such as sending confirmation emails for membership sign-ups and contact forms. However, Google's was reporting that emails sent from the site where reported as SPAM in Google Gmail.

Detail:
Google uses Barracuda Spam Filter  and allows for custom rules that are set by the individual company so there is little documentation concerning them. 
So BSF_SC0 denote custom rules, some are easier to decipher than others. There's no documentation about these rules or else Spammers could get around them.
An example of the SPAM report is shown below:

I developed a solution to get around these errors. This can be used for any website emailer program, but primarily for PHP based solutions such as Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla!, etc.

Free S.M.A.R.T Hard Drive Monitor for Windows 98, XP, Vista, 7, 8

S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology; often written as SMART) is a monitoring system for computer hard disk drives to detect and report on various indicators of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures.

Download a free for personal use copy of PassMark DiskCheckup ™ utility here. Great commercial grade and supported software. 

For open source and alternatives see Wikipedia's list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_S.M.A.R.T._tools

In order of preference; 

1. CrystalDiskInfo - build by Japanese developer Noriyuki Miyazaki a Microsoft MVP.
   
   Great utility, that show temperature per HD in system tray. It supports HDD/SSD utility software which supports a part of USB connection and Intel RAID. Adware removed now,

2. GSmartControl - Hard disk drive and SSD health inspection tool * 

   GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl (from smartmontools package), which is a tool for querying and controlling SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data on modern hard disk and solid-state drives. It allows you to inspect the drive's SMART data to determine its health, as well as run various tests on it.
3. HDD Guardian provides a Windows front-end for smartctl, a utility which monitors your hard drive(s) and SSD(s) for health status, taking advantage of S.M.AR.T. tool as provided by https://www.smartmontools.org/. But no individual temperature gauges per hard drive.
