I think Email itself is in trouble

Everyday it gets more and more difficult to communicate with someone via email. For me the confidence that the person I sent a message actually receiving it is low. This is due to over reaction and sloppy administration. Over reaction is when an administrator blocks too many possible matches because someone called them feeling angry about receiving a sex spam mail. Sloppy is when an administrator blocks common words like hello and hi because they do not feel like generating better rules or don't have the time for it. All this leads to me not being sure if my email got to the other person. If I can't feel confident about my messages getting though then I'm not going to use it for important work. When this happens email in itself will become useless in business. I have a person I write to on a regular basis and the failure rate of our communication is a bout %50 now that her company installed a spam blocking device. Personally, I agree spam is annoying but it doesn't bother me to the point where I would want email to fail altogether..
