Despite the odd top level domain .fm, they're an Austrialian outfit with servers based in NY and Texas. They're *very* reliable, and you can do just about anything emailwise. Highly recommended. -bert Hi Marina,

Their free version (of 6.75gb) should work for most people. That being said, it's very easy to get all your aliases sent to that one email address with Google Apps...but I can see your frustration with trying to get the correct From address in there--because then you'd be back to where you started with "on behalf of" business. An easy workaround would be to use a desktop client when sending messages from those other domains--Outlook, Eudora, Thunderbird, etc would all do the trick without the "on behalf of"... I continue to recommend Google Apps to small businesses, but you're right that it's not for everyone. Especially if one wants support. Sorry you had such a bad experience. Marina,
