I switched my DNS records tonight to allow Google for domains to take over email for nopaper.net. We’ll see if the propagation completes in time for the morning spam (tastes better than coffee). If I’m lucky, I’ll have Google snooping managing my email when I wake up, and the data lost to the void between mail servers will be minimal.

SMTP and POP authentication tests from Mail.app have already turned out successful, so I’m encouraged.

(If you’re interested, you have to request your own invite. Hard to beat free.)

Update:

It looks like all is well. I was worried for a moment as I didn’t get the spam I was expecting, but of course Google’s filtering is taking care of that; I’ll happily let them deal with it.

Now if I can just figure out how to use my email address for the Jabber/XMPP protocol authentication through the Google Talk network, that would be pretty slick.
