Problem of Spam in privately owned domains
The worst about personal mail is that you get lots of spam, why ? As you have to send letter to your site member, you have to show email address to many unknown people so that they can contact you back. All results in your email address exposed to lots of spammers.
On one of my such site, I had 5 email accounts to deal with my site visitors as well as to have business related emails too. But as time passed, I used to get around 600-700 spam mails daily on all mails together, I had to check mails daily in order to sort out mail of my use. I created lots of filter in my mail client software, it was able to sort out spam mails but still things were not working. I was loosing many important mails and even because of those spam mails, my one site got messed up as its all work was based on email.
Then I finally decided to use gmail to work upon all mails and to fight spam for me.. as well the interface we all love.
