1. Comment - Google 'feels your pain' after the latest Gmail outage

   (Aug 12, 2008 - 1:51 PM)

   I agree. Despite the down time, gmail is reliable. When you don't ever get email, then that's when it becomes unreliable.
   
   Bellsouth.net (now ATT and bunch) is unreliable because of their draconian spam filters. They block email before it reaches your inbox. This means without any filters set, you still lose legitimate email (complaints > /dev/null).
   
   And with port 25 blocked, I am forced to use gmail as my email service. I am pleased that I did. I now trust that email will arrive.
   
   P.S. I use fetchmail and never noticed the outage. :-)
   
   PPS. Their spam filter is very good!
