Yes I have decided that with all my computing needs. Hence using ubuntu, not gentoo. Hence using google apps not gentoo+postfix+procmail+imap server+webmail app. Was fun playing, and I understand a lot of stuff that I wouldn't otherwise have grokked, but work still needs to be done. I am now backing up other (non email) data to Amazon s3 as well. On 22/2 I was more vulnerable there than with the email. I now feel I should go that step further and backup the google apps email, maybe to s3? maybe to rackspace? Is there an easy way to do that? I assume one activates imap on the google apps account and keeps a separate server in sync? _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
