Gmail is crap IMO, We got a lot of clients using it and they can't get FTP, Order Confirmation, Newsletters from us.

Just sent out a newsletter that just said Content Update at www.paulmarkham.com and very little else.

Was over two hours doing the confirmations at spam arrest and spam blocker, seems the previous newsletter were just being tagged as spam.

Also had lots fo new orders over night from customers who did not get the newsletter before.

Spam is hurting this business in many ways and nothing seems to stop it. The day emails are no longer free is the day the problem will go away. Make those who want to send out 1 million emails a day pay for it and you will see them disappear.
