But that's only combating inbound spam, it doesn't prevent people from masking the headers with your domain making it look like you.

I have one project account with GMail, so far I've found it's not been wrong once but because I'm used to spam filters not being accurate I still check the spam folder to be safe. Since using G I've considered moving my other accounts into it also because they still allow you to use IMAP meaning I can use Thunderbird mail client and not have to sign into their website. I'm not a fan of their interface which is why using Thunderbird is cool.
