My experiences with blocking: - Hotmail has no issues. - Gmail blocks emails sent from your mail server UNLESS you have your reverse DNS pointing to your domain. Easy way to test this is to go into the terminal and type "host x.x.x.x" where x.x.x.x is the IP of your mail server, it should point to your domain. - Some small providers (e.g. Earthlink) appear to automatically block emails from new IPs until they are manually whitelisted, i.e. as an administrator you have to contact them. Receiving an email from the recipient first hasn't solved the issue in my limited experience so far... Andrew.
