Why shouldn't I use a public domain address?

When you use a public domain address such as gmail, Yahoo, or AOL to send marketing emails, your open and click rates will plummet because it won't be apparent where your emails are coming from. There is also a high probability that your email will be marked as spam if you send it from a public domain address.
