I've been having problems with gmail sending to my works domain for a 
couple of months now.  All e-mails that come via the gmail 
infrastructure are being delayed by up to an hour between two hops in 
their infrastructure.
In typical fashion Google's support are utterly non-communicative.  I've 
even had a friend who works for them pass on details internally to see 
whether that would help but no joy.  The conversations I've had or heard 
over the last couple of years regarding their support quality leaves me 
reluctant to ever consider Google's Apps for Business as anything even 
remotely approaching suitable for such.
