it depends. :-)

If the sending mail server is safely configured otherwise (i.e. not 
blacklisted, ideally whitelisted, PTR records do match etc., the things 
any postmaster has to know about), then it should be no problem, given 
that two factors are met:

1. No SPF records configured, or configured with ?all
2. No DKIM records configured, or configured with (IMHO) dkim=unknown

Otherwise, mails would be classified as spam indeed. We made quite good 
experience in the past: Many of us used their @openoffice.org accounts, 
but there was no official SMTP server. Worked like a charm, as neither 
DKIM nor SPF was configured within the openoffice.org domain name.
