  A business can "receive" via a webform.  As a matter of fact, a
customer can keep track of their order via webpages.  Businesses can
get around spam by using webforms for incoming requests.

  The mere fact that it's "personal email", rather than a business
facility will allow end-users to use more effective filters, even though
they risk more false positives.

1) Those who have effective spam-blocking
