Are you sure this is the reason? Often forwarding sites are blocked
becase they forward a lot of spam. If you improve your filters, you may
find that less of your mail is blocked. Mail sent to this list does
not have the recipient addresses in the "To:" header, and yet it is
mostly not filtered. In some scoring systems, not having the recipient
in the headers pushes your spam score higher, this may be what you
are seeing.

The real solution is effective spam filters on mail you forward.

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
