You're free to disagree, of course; all I have is my own experience with this exact problem, with my earthlink mail being rejected or killfiled by clients because the sending server was charter.net and the reply to was earthlink.net. Friends found my .mac mail relegated to their spam folder; John's own experience mirrors this -- that is, some of his own mail is filing into Junk, and I have to believe it's because of the mismatch between sending and reply to information in the email. In my own quest to uncover the "why", Charter explained that many ISPs filter mismatched mail as spam. Earthlink's tech support corroborated the notion. Port 587 was my way around all of it.
