Thank you, I didn't want to jump to conclusions, but his setup seemed like a convoluted way to have Google handle the storage at no cost to himself. Glad I'm not the only one with that takeaway.
Yeah, they wanted storage and enterprise level spam filters for free and used a bodge to get it. Google probably stopped that feature because they weren't the only company doing that. I doubt the average consumer account was costing them much in that department.
