Sounds pretty good, and Google makes it easy to label the 1 or 2 a day as
spam. So with their large user base, their filters should stay up to date
with just a little bit lag. Having your email address posted on the front
page of slashdot sounds like a good test case.

I ran a test case were I e-mailed myself a huge attachment, it worked fine
on GMail, while my other e-mail account (as expected) choked.
