I'm curious as there is a growing demand, and it makes logical sense to have Google handle it. I'm not scared of my clients jumping ship and using their free hosting services or anything else.

I just want to know... who is using GMAIL for their user accounts?
What has your experience been?
What problems have you encountered?

Thanks!
 
Hello,

we are using google apps for almost all of our customer, they are 100% happy with they service. The best feature is the spam control 99,9% right :D

we have build a especial configuration for that:

one vps running a web server and ns1 in Brazil

one vps running a web server and ns2 in US

one vps running a web server and ns3 in UK

most of all accounts using google apps

so, if one vps is down, almost services are still UP :cool:
 
I had a customer who requested it after the Roundcube exploit occurred as we disabled Roundcube permanently. He didn't like our other webmail options, so I went ahead and setup Gmail apps for his email. He hasn't complained yet. I am seriously considering using it as the default for new customers.

also use a 2nd DNS server, so your customer will always be able to use the email :cool:
 
I am looking for ways to implement Google Apps for my customers as well. Can you explain me something then?

How do you handle account creation for Google Apps @google then?

And how do you handle DNS configuration at @DA?
Is this done manually or via a custom script (as I am planning to use)


Thanx!

If you're going to install Google Apps for email for all your clients, then you can create modified custom templates for DNS.

You'll find the template directory and the templates by doing:
Code: 
# locate templates | grep directadmin[/quote]
Be sure that you move the template you're changing in to the custom directory before changing it so it won't get overwritten.

this time I found it:

/usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom/

already change MX, TXT and A records with success, only CNAMEs are not working, do you now if in dns_cname.conf I must use:

webmail=ghs.google.com.

this is a empty file so I am not sure about it.

thanks :D
