Hmm. maybe worth considering getting our own spam/virus filtering appliance
then. currently our email is filtered by our ISP's RedCondor and it does a
good job of filtering. Very little junk gets through. Heck, it's at least as
good as SpamCop, which I use for my personal email. J

 

Any other comments on Google, specifically, or hosted email in general? Main
reason we want to bring email in house is because so many of our users have
smart phones and they have trouble getting them to work with our hosted
email. Also, we get charged based on the size of the mailbox, for disk space
and I want to get rid of that. if we put the mail store on the storage
appliance I'm looking at, we should have plenty of space to work with. J

A wee bit OT but related... 

We are a Notes shop.  We are strongly considering going to a hosed -er-
hosted Exchange service (once we find someone who can import our current
Domino set-up and provide the proper guarantees).  Lots of arguments in
favor of the hosted service. 

Are you aware that Google owns Postini?  Anyway, for spam filtering, many
things get through our Postini filters and into our Notes mailboxes.  These
same spam messages get snagged and sent to the "spam" box in GMail.  That
is, the spam filtering in GMail seems to be better than for Postini.
