What's better than running htmlEncode? Running it seven times!

Most people should probably just use a third-party email service provider so they don't have to worry about issues like this. Deliverability is a pain to manage if you don't have to.

I didn't know about the existence of Google Postmaster Tools[0] so that was a cool discovery :)

Most cloud providers (e.g. Google [1] and Amazon) as well as ISPs block outgoing traffic on TCP port 25 (SMTP) so it's actually fairly hard to run your own SMTP server to begin with.

True, but many people will try to do it anyway. Amazon will allow you to send email on request. They just have a form you need to fill out.

Given their concern for ranking of their IP space, they'll be watching you with fifty eyeballs after granting you access.
