Iburst has added a spam filter to their email system (adds the text [**spam**] to the title of incoming email). However, they have decided that the monthly wine catalogue from Makro (funnily enough, not the general store catalogue), monthly specials from RCI and all mail from my financial advisor is [**spam**]!!

Yes, I've noticed my emails back and forth from Tradepage, MY ISP?!?!, is also marked the same way.
However, this might be due to the fact that iBursts smtp servers are marked, internationally, as spam servers. This is because they fail at doing rDNS. I've sent many emails to iBurst telling them the problem, and even detailing how to fix it. I've even offered my services to fix it for them. They don't think there is a problem. I'm at my wits end about this. Surely a network administrator has heard of something called the RFC set of standards? One of which is rDNS for smtp servers!

indeedlyodely. It is a serious problem, the solution requires the purchase of hosting and using that as a mail relay.

Interestingly, I saw gmail's smtp server runs @ port 8575 or something.
If you use this smtp then you can bypass iburst's lack of common sense

There are a lot of hosting companies that run mail servers on port 587 now since its the standard port for mail submissions. This makes it a trivial excercise to use your own mail servers rather than being forced to use iBurst's.
