These myths are popular, in my experience they are not true.

I am speaking from personal experience. I've run my own mail server for about 15 years.

A few months I had to publicly complain on twitter about Microsoft blocking my email in order to get them to stop putting my email in the spam folder (after having to move to a new IP). Their support people before I publicly complained just kept responding with a form letter with advice for commercial senders sending transactional, newsletter and marketing content.
