I think most people would consider that cheating... You're hardly running your own email server, and still using Google.

I actually miss running my own email domain, the privacy of it, not the actual administration. I stopped when I had gotten so crazy with aliases and disposable addresses that the spam overwhelmed me. Wasn't worth the time to 'do it right,' and I gave up my privacy for the simplicity of GMail.

I would love to leave GMail and take my privacy back, but I haven't found an acceptable alternative yet.
