No because Eircom sucks. I highly doubt they implemented encryption and sender authentication.

Basically in the 90s you could send email that someone can capture and read over the network, the 'from' field was something you could make up like "ceo@microsoft.com". People were falling for all kinds of scams and finally the industry came up with ways to fix this stuff but lazy providers never implemented the measures.

Without sender authentication there is no way to tell if the email address you're sending from actually belongs to you therefore mail gets marked as spam.
