Well the problem is that you can't control whether the to address won't 
be handled with a different mail server in the future. Whether the 
receiving party marks your mail as spam or not is actually their 
problem. If you act according to the RFC's it should be delivered.
Of course it helps if you don't make the content be spam ;-)
