OT - Google Hosted Email

Google apps rules, we use it for about a dozen domains and about 25
users and it works like a dream, even for those older staff members
who insist on keeping with outlook! I still haven't got around to
re-purposing the old linux mail server though!

No - and yeh, email has been the least enjoyable part of the project;
all sorts of trouble!

Dominic,
It sounds like we are doing something remarkably similar and it has definitely
been the most unpleasant part of my entire project. It would be great to switch
everything over to a Gmail domain if it would work.
Just curious, Are all the clients in your scenario registered email users of your
domain?

I'm wondering if GMail could be my saviour here too. I have a simple
mail system where the client can setup mail 'templates' and choose to
send that email to a client - macros they define get replaced by name,
etc. Would this kind of thing be doable? I.e. can I use a google api
to create email bodies, etc?

Second to fending off hackers (crackers actually), Email was always the next
worst part of hosting. Nothing but headaches. I do not miss that *at all*.
Google mail is a God Send.

P.S. Arf indeed.

Gotcha. yeah, I misinterpreted. I thought you were saying to use
gmail, but *not* use google mail for hosted domains (and wondered why,
or whether or not you had a bad experience with it).
We're on the same page now :)

I think you misinterpreted what I was trying say.
Let me try again:

I use gmail to get email for accounts that don't use googles mail servers.

and why would that be?
i've hosted my personal domain's email on google for a year now, and
couldn't be happier. zero worry, zero cost, 6 gigs of storage, spam
filtering....
is there any particular reason you're actively recommending against it?

I would recommend Gmail to retrieve your email *not hosted* on Google as
well. Period.
e.g. I have had the same email address since '99. I am sure it made it on
every spammers list there is. I used to get over run with spam... we are
talking thousands a day. Even with server side black lists and and spampal
on the client, I would get *at least* 100+ spams in my in box daily and
thousands more in my spam folder. It took 45 min to over an hour just to
download my mail over dial up if I was using spampal (spampal had to ping
the black list servers for each email).
Now I get one or two spams in my inbox *a month*, if that... and maybe a 100
in the spam folder.
All hail the Geek Gods of Google.

It Rocks. Your going to wonder why you didn't do it sooner. We have
been on for over a year and I can barely remember the days of
purchasing spam filtering software, trying to keep a web interface
up,and worrying about backing up. That doesn't even touch the user
side of it (searching and storage mainly) that you are probably
already familiar with.
The list of pluses is huge.

I strongly recommend Google Apps for Your Domain.

Anyone out there using Google's hosted email?
I've set up one account and was going to recommend it to a client but I
haven't had enough experience with it to be 100% sure.
Cheers.
