 From their page:
March 26, 2009: CityNet Partners with Google to bring users "Google  
Apps"
We expect the Google migration to be implemented within the next 2  
months.

So it's not done yet.  Maybe the reason for their migration is that  
spammers are using their webmail clients to spam people and they're  
hoping a move to google apps will help.

I used to get thousands of spams but since moving to google hardly get  
any.  Is your problem with this spam that it's one of the few you get  
or just one among thousands?
