Are you sure? It
doesn't look like wikimedia.org's MX point to google's
servers:

It's true that individual inboxes for staff/contractors/board/etc. are
hosted in Google Apps. WMF Operations controls the mail routing (hence the
MX record) and directs mail sent to different addresses to different places
- including rules for allowing Office IT (via foundation corporate LDAP) to
route addresses to Google:

Open source email options apparently aren't up to the job. As demonstrated by the
number of times that the gmail-only 'mute thread' functionality has been mentioned
on this list of late...
