Providing efficient unhindered mail delivery is one of the goals here. Another is to cut down spam. Another is to avoid having large numbers of email messages, with fake return addresses, be bouncing around the system waiting for a threed-day timeout. In some cases, such as yours, these goals are in conflict. The technical cost of resolving this conflict, while still allowing you to use the same email address, is quite high. This is why the recommended mechanism to be completely free of all filtering done at our machines is to have your own domain. The technical cost of implementing that is quite low -- and in fact effectively zero, because it has already been implemented. -- (Rahul Dhesi) a2i network support account <support@rahul.net>
