[GRLUG] google enterprise for email

[Rick Vargo]

The only real downside to hosting your services with Google is that it  
gives them access to you and your company's info as it flows through  
their systems... You definitely would want to avoid it if you are  
working with patients, secret company proprietary info, and the like.
