replied email going to spam

I am running Thunderbird on Linux on my home computer. At work, I have an email address: mark@mydom.org which is set up as an Exchange alias for admin@mydom.org. Emails to either mark@mydom.org or admin@mydom.org forward to my personal email at mfoley@novatec-inc.com. That's all fine.

The problem is when I reply to a message sent to mark@mydom.org, thus making the sender mark@mydom.org, that message end up in the recipient SPAM. This used to deliver to the recipient's inbox w/o problem, but with mail service providers tightening down this started delivering to the junk folder (at best), and maybe even not getting delivered depending on the recipient. For example, here's an outright rejection from gmail:

Code: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<mercureytech@gmail.com>
(reason: 550-5.7.26 The MAIL FROM domain [mydom.org] has an SPF record with a hard fail)

<<< 550-5.7.26 The MAIL FROM domain [mydom.org] has an SPF record with a hard fail
<<< 550-5.7.26 policy (-all) but it fails to pass SPF checks with the ip:
<<< 550-5.7.26 [24.142.169.12]. To best protect our users from spam and phishing,
<<< 550-5.7.26 the message has been blocked. Please visit
<<< 550-5.7.26 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#authentication for more
<<< 550 5.7.26 information. r10-20020a05620a298a00b00767cf648a19si1422481qkp.443 - gsmtp
554 5.0.0 Service unavailableIs there a way to fix this?

The Exchange service has an SPF record for mydom.org:
Code:v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -allCould I add the IP of my home computer? Or the IP of my work email server (which the home computer uses as a relay)? For example:
Code:v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:1.2.3.4 include:novatec-inc.com -allOr is there something less brutal I can do?
