Google Apps Mail & sendmail on web server

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I'm looking into simplifying my web server setup and migrating from a Verio MPS dedicated machine to a rackspace cloud server. One of the things I least relish is setting up mail servers, so I'm considering moving the mail for my domain to google apps mail. I've found out that this involves changing the MX entry in my DNS, which I know how to do via Verio's web interface. There's a complication, however. My web server runs a few self-service pages that need to send out mail messages. There's a PHP-based page using the standard PHP mail() method and a ruby script using Net::SMTP. The big que (HowTos)

I have a commercial website on an Ubuntu web server and my hosting company has a mail server for all its customers.

For security reasons, do you think I should rely on my hosting company's centralized mail server for my domain's email? Or should I just set up my own mail server on the same Cloud server?

Maybe I should use Google Apps' mail server for my own domain?

Thanks in advance

Here's the situation:

I have a domain, let's say domain.com. That domain has Google Apps for Business enabled, so all mail delivered to @domain.com will end up at Google (MX records point to Google).

I have a PHP script at domain.com that I use to send mail to myself.

Mail Forwarding on SBS2003 17 weeks 2 days ago

We recently our mail service to Gmail which has been great. The only application I haven't been able to cut over from our old mail service is our phone server which isn't able to send mail to an SSL SMTP server.

We have a mail server running Debian 5.0. It is one year old now but we want to deploy a new server with Ubuntu Server 10.04. The problem is that we want to transfer all the user mails and settings to the new mail-serverl. So all their usernames and passwords should be the same, all their mails should be transferred successfully to the new mail server.

Ok We have a difference of opinion on something and wanted to get some expert advice.

We host our mail with our main domain "OurDomain.net" with a third part mail provider. We have an in house application that has to be able to send mail out to our clients.

We're about to move a client from a "regular" Courier Mail Server at another provider's server to Google Apps with us. So at the same time, we're switching their DNS records to "point" to our web server and Google's MX records.

How can we avoid e-mail getting lost in the transition?

I am setting up a small site that has the need to be able to programmatically send mail from time to time. Password resets and things like that.
