This is the reason I run my own email server (for outbound email only, I
still use my various ISPs for inbound email).

Running your own outbound email server bypasses the ISP's server so your
outbound email headers are never "checked".

You can try using a Reply-To line in the header if your email client
allows it. Use your account name in From and the email address you want
used in Reply-To.
