Default Email Hosting That Doesn't Block Website Forms

I use Rochen as my actual website host, who are absolutely amazing. However they have very tight disk space restrictions, which makes it not a good choice for email hosting.

I used to use Google Apps for email, which was great when it allowed 50 free users, but now at $50 per user per year after 10 users, most clients don't want to pay that.

So I've recently been pointing all email to Godaddy. However, Godaddy has serious problems with blocking emails that are generated from website forms. (the same forms can easily carbon copy to my Gmail account). They just never arrive. This happens on Wordpress, Joomla, and other types of sites.

I am wondering what other designers are using to host their clients email? I was considering Bluehost, but I also didn't want to go through the effort of setting that up only to find out they have email-blocking issues as well. I would truly appreciate some recommendations.

You need a reverse DNS record to stop those emails from being lost.

My host, Rochen, does have reverse DNS setup, which you can see by looking up this IP: 72.249.49.2

Then you need a reverse dns *there*.

Either way - this is outsdie the scope of theme support but I'll leave this open for other community members to chime in.
