It seems that the email hosting company that is rejecting my emails is Go Daddy.
Is there any way I can tell people, who I email, who use Go Daddy as their email host, how to whitelist me or how to provide a permission for emails with links to cloud servers in them ???
In my experience it's rare for mails to be classed as spam for a single reason. Usually it's a set of things, all of which might be moderately iffy, scoring badly according to some set of tests, yielding a cumulative score that puts the mail over a threshold.

If the recipients can set the threshold at which they want possibly bad emails to be classed as spam, they might have that set very low. In my experience many ISPs' defaults are too low - yes they'll get rid of lots of spam, but they'll get rid of much that is genuine too... (On my own systems I accept all the spam so I can see that nothing genuine is being lost. Back in the dial-up days that was impractical but with broadband it is not.)

The headers of the thought-to-be spam mails may show how the score was reached. Your recipients may have no idea how to interpret that, but if you can get some of them to forward examles of rejected mails back to you, you can see if there's common features.

If you're not already sending the mails as plain text (ie not "rich text") then send plan text - "rich text" is too often used to make things look like they're from banks etc when they are not. Give the mails a sensible subject line and a paragraph or two of sensible text.
