Depends on how you feel about them targeting marketing to you based on
you and your customer's correspondence. If one day that privacy
policy changes for gmail, and that information is no longer
"anonymous" or gets handily sold to third parties, heads will roll,
and whomever decided "gee, using a free email service with a
quesitonable privacy policy is a great idea!" might be among the
first.

Also, you have to think about the business card aspect. If a
business isn't stable enough to be using their own domain vs free
email service, just how legitimate is that business? These are
questions your customers may ask themselves but never tell you.
