With online email service invite systems that many web apps use these days, do you send the invites through the user's account within that service or is it more proper to harvest the contact addresses and send from the new (your) web apps email domain?

If the latter how do you avoid spam filters?

I've heard PG say one key element of Viaweb getting acquired was that they had a top brand accounting firm which gave great credibility to their books. He felt it contributed a lot to sealing the deal with Yahoo.

Does anyone know who Viaweb used or who is considered the Wilson Sonsini of startup accounting?
