I think this gmail quirk should go to Raju's FAQ:
Q: I posted from my gmail account, but I don't receive my own posts.
But I receive other posts and even answers to my own posts.
A: gmail will discard your own posts because they consider them to be a
duplicate of the sent message (which is stored in the sent folder). The
only way around this (if you still want to receive your mail through
gmail) is to use a different server for sending, ex. your own ISP's
smarthost. Just take care when configuring your mail client so that the
correct address appears.
