If you're not willing to pay 10€ for a real domain name, why should anyone
put any effort into accepting your mail?
Just because you should by default accept mail from everyone *unless* the
sender proved to be nasty/harmful/mailicious etc.?
Otherwise you are breaking the very purpose of e-mail.
They are 'accepting' mail from you, just putting it into the spam folder.
Nowadays, you'd be daft to accept mail from anywhere unless the sender
'proves' to be nasty. Generally, you'll find it more likely to work the
other way. If you're an unknown sender, you're likely to be filtered
until you're proven to be good. This is especially the case if you're
using a TLD or network with a bad reputation. In that case, simply by
using those low-rep things, you are broadcasting that you're *likely* to
be bad. It's the same as walking into a war zone wearing the enemy's
uniform. You may not be the enemy, but you're very likely to be, so
don't be surprised if you get shot.
Content filtering isn't 100% accurate, and is CPU intensive, so large
receivers will work off reputation (which is low-CPU) as well as content
filtering.
Well, Gmail is basically "free stuff" as well. Yahoo is "free stuff". In my
country, Onet, WP and Interia are big free e-mail providers as well. Should
nobody accept mail from them just because they are free?
No, but they are often treated with suspicion because of that. No one
will say 'Oh, it's from gmail, we'll accept it blindly'.
I know I'd never use a free email account for an important account - you
get what you pay for. If you use a gmail (or Hotmail, or Yahoo) email
address for business, then you shouldn't be surprised if you lose emails.
OTOH, from experience, Google do take note of spam reports to them,
either about gmail spammers or about gmail dropboxes. So, the proportion
of bad gmail email addresses to good ones is probably quite low. Compare
that to the proportion of bad/good domains on certain TLDs and you'll
see that gmail email addresses are far more trustworthy.
