I stopped using Gmail as a host for my domain email today. I decided to install RoundCube Webmail on my web server instead. This way I could use IMAP and have may mail synced in both Apple Mail and webmail.

This only took a few minutes to do because there isn’t much setup required in RoundCube Webmail. The thing I had trouble with was spam. I have my email forwarded to my blackberry, and there is no way for me to forward only legitimate mail. I either get all mail, or no mail.

The solution I came up with is to use Gmail as a spam filter. It’s a pretty simple idea really. I just forward all of my mail to Gmail, and have Gmail forward all of that mail to my Blackberry. Gmail doesn’t forward any spam email, so all I get is the good stuff.

Hopefully some of you out there will find this useful.
