In the past, I've emailed friends, and my first or second posting has gone into their spam bucket, without them doing anything about it.
I have a friend who's email service sporadically bounces my email. Why? Because I own my own domain, I use my hosting company's email servers instead of my ISP's and a small number of their customers are spammers. Whenever their spam gets above a certain threshold, her ISP blocks any email access from those servers, and cuts us off. This is why I dislike blacklists: they're just about guaranteed to produce at least 99% false positives because they're just an exercise in throwing the baby out with the bath water.
