I _love_ Google Apps, I use it as a front line MX for about 20 domains,
including all the UUHEC.NET subdomains.

In fact I don't allow any incoming SMTP any more, all mail is picked up
by fetchmail and fed to my various mail servers (BBSes, couple of Unix
boxes etc) on the internal LAN.

So much nicer than opening up a SMTP server to the world and worrying 
about spam etc, just point your MX records at Google, set up a catchall
account and off you go.

I still run my own IMAP server and of course for UUHECNET the mail gets
sent over UUCP to the members, but Google Apps is very good, especially
considering it's free.
