Google Apps. Not so sweet
A post about what problems we encountered by transferring company email to Google Apps.
This is such a system where you can link various Google services (calendar, mail, documents, websites) with any domain name (if it belongs to you or you can manage it).
The whole thing is called an online office.
This system is available in both free and paid versions.

First of all, small companies that do not want to spend money on hosting their site, or want to get reliable mail.
Large and medium-sized companies can afford a server and support staff who will be engaged in solving company tasks.
I work in a small company that deals with two Internet projects. We have a server on which projects are hosted + company website. Also, there was a smtp-pop3 server spinning around.
Over time, the mail was simply overwhelmed with spam. These are three domains, each with 4-6 e-mail addresses (info @ domain, support @ domain, + personal mail of employees).
We had to do something about it. Spam on the server did not give a strong load (1-3 letters per second), but for people who read mail this is a problem. I decided to outsource everything related to mail to those who deal with this spam.
There was not much to choose from. I know only two companies that allow you to “park” your mail with them:
The choice fell on Gmail Apps, since my personal mail is at Google :)
After reconfiguring the mx-records, Google began to deal with our mail. The robots of projects that send passwords to forgetful users were accordingly reconfigured. A special account was created for the robot, from which letters were sent programmatically via smtp.gmail.com.
For a short time of use (five days), the following problems came out:
If the first problem is still somehow tolerable, then the second is gut. All that Google offers to solve problems with sending is to wait (the topic is on Google gruppaz ). Moreover, this problem is like with free accounts, and with paid ones.
Now I think that Google can nafig, and try with Microsoft?
Find errors - report it and I will correct it.

Our familiarity with Google Apps

- Microsoft - domains.live.com service
- Google - Google Apps service

Mail Problems on Google Apps
For a short time of use (five days), the following problems came out:
- A lot of spam! The public addresses that are left on the site, comes just the darkness of spam. Google filter just does not cope. In 5 days, the spam folder has grown to 3 thousand letters, and about 250 spam letters have crept into the inbox.
- Google smtp servers are banned for spam!
Through smtp.gmail.com emails are not sent to many domains, the following are answered:
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
name@domain.ru
Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550-rejected because 72.14.204.236 is in a black list at bl.csma.biz
550 bl.csma.biz/cgi-bin/listing.cgi?ip=72.14.204.236&src=lax (state 14).
72.14.204.236 is Google's IP.
If the first problem is still somehow tolerable, then the second is gut. All that Google offers to solve problems with sending is to wait (the topic is on Google gruppaz ). Moreover, this problem is like with free accounts, and with paid ones.
