Issue Details

This is sometimes caused by companies not wanting to deal with the hassle of making their servers work with all other Email providers, due to the different types of SPAM filters being developed today to combat the growing problem of SPAM.
Google Mail is available through Google Apps. Google Apps gives you a way to host your email through a reliable server without having to deal with issues of SPAM or SPAM filters, as this is all taken care of for you through Google Apps.
