You just have to be able to direct the mx records for your domain to postini's servers.

That's the mailbox whatchamacallit addresses I meant.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Any recommendations for business email hosting? Currently we use Earthlink, but we're fed up with them.

Since we have Comcast Business internet, we might switch to their email hosting as well. (Years ago, we picked Earthlink because they had dial-up, but we don't need dial-up anymore.)

eta: Oops, we need web hosting as well (just for a rudimentary web site at the moment).

At the massive company I work for, we use gmail for corporate mail.

That hadn't occurred to me.

Does your gmail use your corporate domain?

How well does that work? (info here: Host Your Domain Email at Gmail (Without Forwarding))

eta: The one thing that concerns me is gmail might go down too often for our business.

Yes it does. My email is name@massivecompany.com. It seems to work pretty well.

tommy,

I have google for apps for my personal domain and I liked it just fine the year I used it. I went back to gmail though because I am just one person.

Tommy, my old job switched to Google for email, and it went down maybe once in the 18 months that I was there for it. Versus the local provider, where it went down at least once a week, even if for only an hour.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

this is stupid: I can't log into my gmail on my blackberry because the password is the little black dots and I can't tell if I'm getting the correct cases. Any ideas?

I have an email for my website set up, and it gets forwarded to my gmail account. This is fine...except I can't get email messages to go OUT to people using this business email account. I GET them fine.

My hosting site is Dreamhost; can anyone think of a way to add the email addy to gmail, or some other workaround?
