Comments on: Google Apps digests Postini, doubles enterprise email inboxes

I hope they've removed this, I have postini at work, once your whitelist hits 4000 characters it rejects any more, nice bit of code, I expect it's stored in a varchar.

it's the contacts stupid

the reason I haven't OK'd migration off exchange 4 2 of my clients is gApps contact management, or complete lack of. Until they get proper contacts (bi directional synch, indexes, DATA FIELDS for christ sake...) they're dead as an enterprise tool, imho.

Try to email a developer.

RE 4000 character limit

Once when I though I recognized the cause in a program I tried to email the company, but got no where.

Then I googled a bit, and found a personal blog by one of the companies programmer working on the product.

When I sent him a short email detailing how to replicate the problem, and my guess as to the cause and solution and he fixed it the next day!

Only worked for me once, but it did work. :)
