[nabs-l] Test Again 4-15

[T. Joseph Carter]

Dave,

The reason for that is because Gmail "Sent Messages" have the same 
message ID as the message sent through the server.  It sees the 
message coming through the server as a duplicate, and therefore 
ignores it.

The way to avoid this is to never let Gmail see the message until it 
comes from the list.  Use your own mail program and don't use the 
Gmail SMTP server to send.  I have a second Gmail account I use for 
sending mail only to avoid this problem, however it has its 
limitations.  Namely, Gmail adds this "Sender" header field to 
messages that plays havoc with some mail software.  (Sun's Messenger 
Express and Dan Bernstein's ezmlm come to mind..)

Unfortunately, I have yet to find a good alternative to Gmail for a 
SMTP server I can use from anywhere.

Sorry if that's a nerdier explanation than anybody wanted.

Joseph
