timmmay: Anyone that blocks gmail probably isn't someone you should use.

shermanp: So, to start with, I'm giving Zoho a go.

Account setup went smoothly, and email migrated across from my old server ok.

However, while anti-spam is catching a lot of spam, I have already had some false positives (for example, kickstarter updates, and a couple of personal emails that were replies).

I've been using Zoho for over a year now, catering for 4 email addresses on our family domain.  The spam filtering is absolutely hopeless, so I've configured Gmail to fetch all messages from Zoho, and thereby make use of its vastly better spam filtering.  I also use Gmail to do all the sending.

Using a Zoho/Gmail combo for personal email accounts works really well and it's totally free, so I can't complain.

zocster: again, yandex is underated ... I've not had their service fails on me yet...

shermanp: I'd rather keep our email under one service if possible, and I'm not sure how the family would feel about using gmail as a main email account either.
