Google Apps for Your Domain

The company I’m working with has been having some hard time with their emails, for the IPs we’ve been receiving from TMNut has been considered as spammer’s IP (hey Windows users, go patch your machine. Stop being spam zombies), thus for many times our emails out were blocked and never reach their destination. Someone reminded me that I have the invitation (it’s no longer invitation based anyway) for Google’s Google Apps For Your Domain. By this we get to register our domain’s email at Google, and enjoy what normally only Gmail users get. Google Talk, Google Calendar, and Google Page Creator also comes with the package. Migrating existing users is just as easy as creating a .csv file of the users to be created, and the steps are well explained in the admin page. Go get yourself an account at http://www.google.com/hosted

We’re provided CPanel by our webhosting company, and these simple steps are just all what it takes to migrate the emails to Google hosting;

1. Login to CPanel (this one is for sure la)
2. Go to Mail -> Modify Mail Exchanger (MX entry) -> Change an MX Entry
3. Change the domain to any of these;

• ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
• ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
• ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
• ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
• ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
• ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
• ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM

And that’s it. Enjoy..
