Domain mapping and Email
May 23, 2007
Minds boggle and records break: we just upgraded an upgrade!
Since its inception, the Domain Mapping upgrade has lacked support for email. No longer. Everyone who has mapped a domain to their blog (subdomains excluded) can now take advantage of the Google Apps email service, which is free to use and takes just a few minutes to configure. There is no extra charge to add email to your blog; it is included in the domain mapping upgrade.
Setup is as painless as we could make it without actually drugging you. Technically, we just install MX records into your DNS zone so that your emails can be delivered to you. We don’t have any control over your mailboxes or your messages. See the instructions for directions and details.
Cheers!

Domain Aliasing works with GAYD! I’m verified and sending mail on my domain again. Yay!
You might want to update your process to include that option: “Point MX to Google Apps” and leave it at that.
Some of us don’t need to enter any verification information. We just need the MX record modified.
I’d love to get rid of that empty and looming verification box in my WP.com Admin panel waiting for me to fill in and click save that will never happen.

Please do not write just for the local duck pond over there. I don’t get all that slang and closed insider information. The relaxed form is very nice. But please remember, that you are an international business. What are you talking abort? An international English would be nice…

Nice! Very nice. Keep upping the ante on hosted blog services. You should really have a list of “only at wp.com” features that sets your apart from Typepad, blogger et al.

Does this only apply to email, or will other GAFYD services work as well, like Docs and Spreadsheets, etc.?
This would really be a good thing. I was just ranting about this last night, albeit with humor in mind.
