Using GMail to handle your domain's mail

I tried, I really tried.

I did everything by the book.

I fought the good fight.

After years of struggle, I've finally given up trying to run my own mail server. Getting swamped with spam, I used whitelisting. Then the spammers reported my whitelisting response emails as spam and my ISP accused me of sending spam.

I've got better things to do.

So I decided to try Google Apps. It took about a day for my DNS entries to propagate with the new pointers to Google's mail servers and I haven't looked back!

You get up to 100 accounts with 6GB storage each, exceptional spam filtering and the ability to report the occasional spam that does make it into your inbox.

And the cost? You guessed it: free. And there are other apps as well.
