So what? In other words, Rackspace runs $30-off sale. By attaching a "cool" angle to it, though, they manage to get it in the news. Well done to their marketing department, I guess.
But it is limited to the first 1,000 people. So think of it as a $30k ad buy where they cut out the middle man and paid some of the end eyeballs instead.
On another note: I am actually considering going with Rackspace to host my main email address (personal/freelance stuff). Currently using Google Apps, but if the Snow Leopard exchange integration is as good as Apple says - then I will definitely be wanting push everything. I would use MobileMe, but there's no option to use your own domain.
.. which is exactly what I was trying to say.
You want to run your own private Exchange server!?
No, I do not want to run my own private exchange server. I want to use Rackspace hosted exchange to host 1 email address. A shared exchange server.
