All email to my domain goes to a GMAIL account.

It then forwards to my actual domain name.
Ditto. Has worked for me for about 5 or so years.

Also when I reload a system I don't need to make an email backup and can use a local email client and it all just reloads itself.

30 months isn't enough.
Wallace, known as the “Spam King,” first rose to prominence in the late ’90s when his company, Cyber Promotions, bombarded email boxes with so much spam that he was sued by service providers such as AOL and Compuserve. But he was spamming even before that, sending junk faxes until (and, some say, after) federal law banned the practice in 1991. After more than 20 internet service providers refused to host him, he seemingly gave up the spam business and opened a nightclub (he still spins under the name DJ MasterWeb), but when it went bankrupt a few years later, Wallace returned to his spammy ways.

The ProofPoint email filter I installed has almost completely wiped out spam from my work account.

No. I would only see them if you put them on the family ones.

These were spam on my personal calendar.

Just making sure. Was putting a shitload of shit on it today and wondered if you were staying abreast of mine and Will's volunteering schedule.

I got a weird gmail msg the other day asking if I wanted to enable external links. Wasn't sure what it meant. I wonder if it was this.
