Have to disagree there. If you send a test mail to yourself using a gmail
account, it WILL come to your gmail inbox.
The reason why most mailing lists doesn't show your own post to the list is
that the setting in the mailing list is not to send a copy of your own mail
to yourself.
With regards to using a mail retriever with gmail, I find that mpop is the
easiest to configure and using it along with msmtp works like a charm.
The mpop downloads the mial form gmail and using msmtp, it submits the mail to
postfix which then delivers it on to your local mail box.
