Wow, this would be a sweet thing to have. It would potentialy put a lot of little mail server companies behind the 8 ball.
Google is apparently thinking about (or about to beta) a product to let you provide their service as mail for your server/domain/service.
Nice if done properly and end sites don’t necessarily know it’s Google at fist look and can easily ban your users or prohibit them from registering with your email addresses.
Too many companies now have added gmail to the same list as yahoo, and hotmail accounts to the list of free accounts they won’t accept.
But I welcome the opportunity to shift my mail burdens of end users off to them. Provided of course I can still manage them and drop deadbeat users. The beta page shows a control panel and the same 2 gigs we’re used to. I welcome the spam filtering, etc, etc.
This is huge for some of us, but the general public won’t care.

Perhaps this manager will learn something if he was an intolerable son-of-a-bitch. Nobody knows enough about the circumstances to really comment on them other than the manager and the four that walked out, and from what I can find they aren’t talking at least not on the Internet.. If it was just a dispute over wages (which I doubt), then sadly this demonstration is not likely to change the situation. There will be others to fill their spots.
It’s still pretty cool none the less. Hope these folks remember not to put this job on their resume though
