Much of these decisions were made before the recent revelations made by
Edward Snowden. I'd be curious to see how many new email customers
Google signs on over the next 12 months.
Most organizations view email, and especially spam control as a relatively
high cost item. Naturally outsourcing seems very attractive, especially
to an organization that doesn't have an experienced System Admin staff.
