I recently configured my home domain to run Google Apps. Since I know you are dying to know why, I'll tell you... GMail is BRILLIANT for SPAM...
I've had my home domain for over 10 years now mostly for email, and in the last few have all but stopped using it because it was so heavily spammed.
Enter Google Apps... Via Google Apps you can configure your own domain to process email through GMail and utilize all the beautiful SPAM filtering technologies suddenly at your fingertips... In fact my favorite part is the little link at the top of the spam folder page which allows you to destroy ALL the SPAM currently in your mailbox with just one click...
Click
There, just like that you are spam-free. There's even a little message that shows up that says 'Hooray! No SPAM here!'
What's really funny about this page though is not the above message. It's the fact that like all free GMail accounts, there are ads on the page which correspond (theoretically) with the topics in your emails. And what shows up on the SPAM page? Recipes... Featuring SPAM...
Today we had Vineyard Spam Salad (I kid you not!) These are real recipes theoretically submitted by real people... (Do they even know what it is they are eating??)
On what I wish was a totally unrelated note, before I zapped all my SPAM I noticed one in there that said:
'Confess! You are broil about the size of your penis'
I mean really!! HOW did they KNOW???
