The company's site swears it will, but I've never had to deal with setting up a personal email server before
If you need better hosting than iPower Web, just let me know (send me a PM). Like most corporations, they're a pain to deal with.

As for emails being marked as spam... It's a number of things. Most importantly, you should setup spf and txt records for your domain. That'll usually solve the problem for 80% of the users. The second most crucial thing is the IP address that the mail server is using. If the IP was used to spam someone in the past, it might be on a number of blacklists and it might be hard to remove it. Certain companies don't care wether they've been blacklisted or not (None of my IPs are blacklisted, yay!).

Many ISPs are set up to restrict anyone attempting to operate an Internet business that includes much email volume - unless you want to pay a hefty price for a business account.
I don't. If a client sends out legitimate emails, I'll contact him/her to make sure that it's not a compromised script. But sending emails generally don't take much server resources.

Although, I'm sure that this is what all the bigger and cheap hosting companies do.
