To make a long story short, it's a bit more than that -

Is the best place to look, but in the case of gmail, you can set your  
own domains to receive email, as your domain, not as a redirect or  
fetching mail from another account. The mail is sent directly to  
google's servers and you get a Gmail interface for those email  
addresses.

Given gmail's spam filtering capabilities, it's a pretty good  
alternative to hosting your own mail if you don't want to pay for your  
own external mail server.
