Well, as I suspected you definitely have some problems in your header 
and the address the mail is coming from doesn't exist in the real 
world.  The first thing to correct is the line:  $additionalHeaders .= 
"Return-Path: -f me at example.com\r\n";  It is non-sense drop it all together.

Then make your mail() call something like this:  $mailSent = mail($to, 
$subject, $message, $additionalHeaders, "-f me at example.com").  It is a 
little late any my eyes are dry, but that should go a long way to fixing 
you up.  However, this will only work if your host allows you to 
override with the -f flag.  Make the changes and send us the new headers.

In any event, you mail is not being routed by Google and the like 
because your Return-Path is not being set to an address that exists in 
the real world.
