And here I thought I was the only one to seriously consider blocking
gmail
(to and from) because of the security implications.
I find it interesting how many people are concerned with sending email to gmail users yet are quite willing to send email to public mailing lists that are archived and indexed by Google. Does anyone really believe that people will use gmail as their one and only email account? Perhaps they are really using it for trading DIVX encoded movies. After all, the cost of sending a DIVX encoded movie from one gmail.com mailbox to another gmail.com mailbox is relatively low. What happens to your network when this happens and instead of receiving a stream of HTML search pages from Google, you now start receiving huge DIVX film downloads, all from a single site! Assuming that they aren't Akamized... --Michael Dillon
