Re: Gmail is the solution
said by aaron8301  :When will everyone learn that Gmail is the one and only email service you will ever need. Ever. You can use it via wap or java app on your mobile device, or use it via POP in your email client. The web interface rocks, and most importantly, I get one - THAT'S ONE - junk mail message per week delivered to my inbox. The rest of the junk mail goes to the spam folder, where I never have to deal with it. And never does an actual message NOT get delivered to my inbox. I have never had to pull a real (non-spam) email out of the spam or trash folders. Quite possibly, the world's most perfect email. It's "a" solution and it's great, but it won't work for companies or people who don't want a @gmail.com address. I love my gmail account too, but I'm just fine with spam assassin to do my junk filtering, works just as well as gmail does it not better because I have more tweak control of the filtering daemon. |

I love my gmail account too, but I'm just fine with spam assassin to do my junk filtering, works just as well as gmail does it not better because I have more tweak control of the filtering daemon. You can setup Gmail to use an ISP's address(like someone@comcast.net) as your FROM: Name and use the replyto: field(someone@Gmail.com) to direct replies back to Gmail. That is how I send out all my email from Gmail.
And I also then make sure the Comcast email account forwards all received email back to the someone@Gmail.com address for anyone one who doesn't do a reply to my msg and then types in the Comcast address manually.
This way, it looks like the email is coming from the Comcast ISP account instead of Gmail, but I get to use GMAIL and it's superior Spam filter and database capabilities. And because I have multiple email accounts with Comcast, it centralizes all my email activity in one place(Gmail).

We were pre-beta testers for Gmail at Your Domain. Made the switch and never looked back. What's not to love? 2GB per user. 10MB attachments. Zero admin overhead. Zero servers to manage. $0 to spend. Terrific spam filter. Great web interface. SSL POP/SMTP. When one of my guys came to me for sign off on the beta participation, I ran the numbers and looked at the product and said "Duh! Sign us up!"

Won't work for consumer/business lending, contracts, mortgages, etc...that deal with confidential nonpublic personal information, as there's a high risk of data getting into the wrong hands, and regardless of nondisclosure agreement terms, the damage would have already been done. |
