Thanks for the link, and thanks to all who responded.  It
turns out the problem is not my configuration.  The tests
are indeed going to my google account, but were NOT
being popped.  I checked the web interface, thinking
to look through the spam box, and they
were sitting there in my inbox!  I'm not sure why
those messages aren't getting popped, since everything
else was.  I did initially have an authentication
issue, as mails were getting returned to me in
/var/mail, but I believe the link above enabled me
to fix that.
