Dear Colleagues:
Is anyone utilizing Google Apps for ISP's, specifically their email solution?
If you are, and you are willing to share some experiences, could you please followup off-line and I will summarize back to the list later?
Best Regards,

Summary: I received responses. Not a lot of enthusiasm. One went as far as sending me some supporting documentation (thanks!) http://apcmag.com/6138/the_dark_side_of_google_apps_for_isps http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/05/20/2144211&from=rss I contacted Google via their stated method and got a communication that said my email would not be read - after the page said press here to "contact us". Not encouraging. Nobody that has used this service for their ISP responded, so I think it's fair to conclude that it's not getting a lot of interest. I did turn the service on through an automated process for a domain I had turned off some years ago. Seems reliable enough. I immediately received 100 spams. What other outsourcing services are out there? - willing to guarantee compliance with customers jurisdiction, and give first jurisdiction non-US, meaning US has no subpoena or search right, legally, without invoking a treaty process - willing to provide a black box, on-site, service to insure privacy and local compliance?
