Mail2web users: are your emails rejected by spam filters?
I decided to give mail2web a try for push email. First impressions are thats for the most part its great (and free), works as advertised, and I'd highly reccommend it.
But one small quirk in my limited testing so far is that all of my emails to friends who work at microsoft get rejected by their spam filter. I haven't done a broader test (this would be spam!) with everyone I know with a corporate email address, and I'd like to think this is just an oddball exception but I wanted to see if others have similar problems with mail2web and spam filters of corporate systems.
Another potential reason I'm concerned is that I'm thinking of upgrading to mail2webs paid service ($1.99/month) which among other things lets you use your own reply to address instead of mail2web.com so that this becomes a pseudo seamless push email solution... BUT, i've heard that one of the things spam filters try to detect is inconsistencies in the hidden message headers of emails such as when reply to addresses aren't the same as the actual sender...this I take it is one telltale sign of unscrupulous spammers... SO, i don't want to end of with having a bigger problem with rejected emails with their paid service! My understanding is that what mail2web does in trying to impersonate a reply to address, is not as superficial as simply changing "reply to,", but since its impossible to fully "cover up" where email originates from a spam filter could tell that my @gmail email is really coming from @mail2web.
Any thoughts on this? on pros/cons of mail2web in general? or other hosted exchange services? I know its free and even $1.99/month is nothing, but I want to give this some thought before making wholesale changes in how I do email.
Thanks
