It is up to the individual recipient's email admin, but increasingly |
| 18 |
the answer is yes. Your biggest issue will be IP reputation, however. |
| 19 |
IPs that are assigned to consumers are almost always blacklisted |
| 20 |
regardless of what you're doing on your end, and the're blacklisted |
| 21 |
before you even attempt to send your first message. |

Personally I run my own server for reception, but all my outgoing mail |
| 24 |
either goes through Gmail or Amazon SES, depending on whether Gmail |
| 25 |
was used as the MUA. Sure, Amazon isn't free, but it is REALLY cheap |
| 26 |
($0.10 for 1000 emails, plus $0.12 per GB). I don't send that many |
| 27 |
emails or much in attachments, so the bill is tiny. Gmail is free and |
| 28 |
you can send outgoing messages from any email address that you |
| 29 |
control. |

Receiving email isn't a big deal though managing spam can be painful. |
| 32 |
Sending it has become increasingly difficult because of others |
| 33 |
managing spam, and IMO it isn't worth trying to deal with directly |
| 34 |
unless you're a large concern. |
