You have to have your headers, reverse dns, etc ad naseum correct and even then you have to not have your domain listed in a spam clearinghouse or all the major free email providers will shuffle your emails into the junk folder.
Setting it up from scratch isn't as easy as just flipping a switch, opening a port, and sending.

Maybe. There's an organization that registers spam domains and all the freebie email hosts check against that list. If your address or domain is on that list, anything from you goes straight into a black hole.

Thanks for the info. I read an article a while back about a guy setting it up all from scratch (so not automatically included with your site), and he was saying his mail would get flagged as spam when sent to gmail, yahoo addresses, etc. So maybe the situation is better when the email is provided by your webhost.
