Re: "Well, every big corp in the World Wide Web is closing their..."
Hmm, I haven't had problems with spam for years; but maybe my setup is unusual: my own domains forwarding to free email.
I like this setup because I control the domain and can switch actual email providers if I like. Also, I forward everything @ the domain, so I can give out a different email address to every signup/contact. This means I can tell who leaked the email address I gave them.
The only time I remember it not working well is one company had a problem on their side causing their forwarded emails to be marked as spam ... they could only send successfully direct to the free address.
I use nearlyfreespeech.net for domain management and email forwarding, they also do minimal spam filtering but I never had problems there.
I guess the downside is cost. Email is tied so much into account access and online identity that it seems worth it to have long term control.

Well, every big corp in the World Wide Web is closing their open access to their sites and APIs, so it was only time Google decided the World Wide Web is *their* API and close it to be used the *approved way*. Link to Reddit, beware. [https link] Google's New Web Environment Integrity (read DRM)
