Your hunch is correct, if your email is coming from one source and the reply is sent back to another source, it will get caught in the less sophisticated spam filters. Changing the "From" address won't really help because the spam filter is often looking at the IP adress of the sending machine (which you can't mask as easilly). Technically the spam filter rejects it not because it thinks it is spam, but because it flags it as potential phishing. Its like those scams to get you to hand over your SSN by sending you a faked email from a bank saying your financiall well being in peril and you need to log onto their site and give them all your personal information right away. Is it possible that you could set your University email to all forward to your gmail account? That would produce the same effect of letting you read all your incoming mail at gmail.
