Thanks for clarifying, Greg - I'd hoped there would some dispensation like this.
I've still got a problem though, because this means you can only have one sender email address per app. I believe that I can't use aliases to the same user to add two addresses as appengine developers, and anyway if you need different behaviours (like a vacation responder on the noreply user) you're out of luck. So currently this means paying out an extra $150 a year per app, or looking at switching MX records so the domain's email is handled by another server (assuming we can do that without breaking anything). Any chance of raising the standard apps accounts you get through appengine have more than the limit of one user (preferably the original ten ;)? Maybe make this available only to billed apps to reduce abuse by people wanting free apps accounts. Cheers! (the other) Greg.
