Some might, but I don't think MOST will.

If the recipient mail server is using a spam scanner such as SpamAssassin, using a non-business grade DSL line will certainly raise your spam score.

As for an edge mail gateway, your best bet would be to deploy a Linux
LPAR running either Postfix or Sendmail. Both are excellent at what
they do.

Or install a Linux machine on a (relatively) inexpensive PC server to act as your public / internet facing mail server ... and I completely agree with Lukas on Postfix & Sendmail.

FWIW: Assuming it's approved, I'm hoping to do a session at the COMMON conference in Reno on email security.
