Here's my take on what email address to send from.
Using email form a domain you registered is most likely to get filtered as spam. The reason, as I understand it, that, say, Amazon.com emails are not filtered by spam filters is because Amazon is a large company and gets put on the whitelist of many spam filter makers and ISPs like AOL, Earthlink, etc. In order to get your domain whitelisted you have to prove you are a legit company and then I think you have to pay a fee. This is not viable for most of us, obviously.
Of course, then, don;t even bother with Yahoo or Gmail because many spammers use these or at least spoof their real email addresses to look like it is Yahoo of GMAIL or HotMail, or whatnot.
So, personally, I think that the best email address to use the your main email address/account that comes with your ISP. So, in other words, if your ISP is Earthlink, then use your earthlink email address that comes with your Internet Service account. Sure, AOL might look unprofessional to some, but then who uses AOL anymore, right? I would not use an AOL email address but then, I would never use AOL as my ISP either LOL. But the fact is that I think that most legit emails from ISP will not be filtered by other ISP/spam filter software as they are on a whitelist. However, if there are other triggers in your mail that deem it as spam like the words FREE or BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY then you are up the river again.
Maybe, then, the best thing to do is to just test it and see which emails seem to get the most response. Perhaps over time you might be able to figure out which type of email address it would be best to use.

Thanks!
I think it just means a long, cumbersome domain name. But I could be wrong.
