Gmail for your domain

GMail for your domain.

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.
