Dragon, Mark, Thanks for the quick replies. Dragon, I'd been having a brief conversation with Mark away from the listserv and we actually got to just about the same point. I have a webmail account provided by my hosting which is technically the recipient of all mailman emails, which I then have forwarding to a gmail account. I didn't understand why it was forwarding welcome/approval/error messages but not my actual posts, which I eventually verified were in fact being sent to my webmail account. POP3 refused to fetch them too. Your responses seem to answer this perfectly though, and I now understand that gmail is intentionally hiding them from me. (Even though the gmail account is not registered with mailman, I'm sending my posts out from gmail under the identity of my webmail account, and I guess google is "smart" enough to know that when it sees the forwarded message coming back.) Aside from the data collecting I've generally been a fan of every gmail feature, but I guess I was bound to find one that seems stupid eventually. I can't believe there's not even an option somewhere to disable this "feature" if you so choose.
I turned on "receive acknowledgment of own posts" and I get those, and I do see a copy in my sent mail. So I guess everything was working perfectly all along and I just didn't know it. Plus it was in the FAQ. Hope saying thanks again makes up for that :). Thanks for helping me out and saving me a lot of wasted time and effort, I really appreciate it, ~Danny On Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 7:55 AM, Dragon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You are using a gmail address to post here. Did you subscribe this gmail address to the list? If so, that is the problem as gmail will not send list posts back to you that are already present in your outgoing mailbox. This is a known problem and Google appears to not give a damn about fixing it.
