Modify your DNS records to remove the default MX records and replace with google. It’s probably advisable to create the user mailboxes before you do this.

| Priority | Mail Server |
| 1 | aspmx.l.google.com. |
| 5 | alt1.aspmx.l.google.com. |
| 5 | alt2.aspmx.l.google.com. |
| 10 | aspmx2.googlemail.com. |
| 10 | aspmx3.googlemail.com. |
This will mean that all mail delivered to username@yourdomain.com will automatically go to google where you will pick it up.

After describing how I have configured my email to a couple of people it occurs to me how useful this so I’ve decided to do a series of blogs on how to set it up.
Web Hosting
Currently I use www.arvixe.com for my web hosting. I went with them particularly because I wanted Windows hosting however I guess you can use any.
Content Management
I use mojoPortal to provide content management. Makes it easier for a whole bunch of things including using Windows Live Writer to do blog entries. Some other examples that I look after are: www.everrest.info and www.innovationtech.com.au. It uses an SQL back end and can be installed using the Microsoft Web App Gallery.
