Targeting Spam > Google Hosted E-mail (beta) Review

http://www.transmit.net/vh [Vitriolic Humor] Setup was very easy, some changes are required to your DNS MX records (remember your password for your account with your registrar?) for your domain to point e-mail to Google's servers. Once this has been completed (and propagated) you can log into the management interface, setup e-mail accounts, e-mail lists (think aliases) and make some minor changes to the interface (choose a background color, include your logo.) Once you've created the accounts everything is ready to go, it works just like Gmail.

http://www.transmit.net/vh [Vitriolic Humor] Google Hosted E-mail (beta) Review: You will be bombarded with spam, your will face script kiddies scanning your services trying to 'hack' your passwords, you will see the underbelly of the Internet that most ISPs effectively hide from their users. I particularly enjoyed running my own e-mail server and quickly implemented RBLs, spamassassin, pyzor and razor to keep the good mail flowing and the spam headed to /dev/null.

(Chris Pirillo): Not only is blogspot full of splogs, but if you have a blogspot blog, it's probably infested with comment spam as well - even if you turn on comments only for blogspot users. Google could be pruning out comment spam pretty easily since all comments are linked to users and each time a spam user is eradicated, all their comments could be too.
