Hi Folks,
     I am as comfortable with any "mail server", whether hosted by  
Yahoo, sbcglobal, and others, as Google is, acting as my "filter" for  
my email. I trust hotmail and aol a little less in terms of their  
ability to be on top of things though. I did some testing with  
Gmail's filtering and I found it to be very thorough and timely. With  
the Fed's reach into our privacy as we know it today, they could  
demand records of my emails from any ISP and I wouldn't be the wiser.  
Trust Google's Gmail, sure, until something happens to prove  
otherwise. As I said, if I think there is email being erroneously  
filtered, I can go directly to my Gmail account and verify valid  
emails are not being trashed, which I do from time to time.
