New You'd best only use...
the local machine for outbound machine made mail.

I'd create the accounts and the aliases for those accounts first, swap the MX record and have it slurp up the folders and mail after they start using GMAIL and the authenticated SSMTP port 465 for client outbound mail. 25GB of mail in Google mail is hyarge... I mean... I;ve got 5 years of systems e-mail (a lot) and I'm only at 8GB...

Anything else, just use GMAIL, since it does the "put in sent mail" thing automagically.

In your SPF records make sure the local machine is listed as an allowed machine, along with Google's stuff.

You love it.

And yes, the web interface/dashboard is quite completely well done. Huge orgs are now using it and most have good things to say about it.

New What Greg said
I did that migration for my company a year or so ago. It was very very easy. One option for outbound alerts is to configure the alerting machine to use google's outbound servers; that may or may not be practical depending on the nature of the host and alerts in question.

I've spent an unreasonable amount of thought on the line Janet sings in Rocky Horror: "His lust is so sincere". Now, on the surface, that's a big "DUH!" because that's the nature of lust. But wait: Brad has earlier sung about how hot he is for her, and it's pretty clear he's just being conventional. Brad's lust is not sincere.

Now, I could swill green mead and gnaw raw meat with sincere lust. As for kimchee and lutefisk, well, those would be just for effect. And if I'm just going for effect, I might as well wear a tie. And pants.
