Well I ran the following command, with the result indicated:
R61:/# telnet smtp.gmail.com 25
Trying 74.125.53.109...
Connected to gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.

Perhaps the foregoing indicates that gmail *does* block port 25.
However, because the outgoing mail server of my ISP uses neither TLS nor
SSL, I have taken to using gmail's "free" outgoing mail server,
smtp.gmail.com, using port 465, which is good all over the world. I
seem to remember that when I forward e-mail from ken@heard.name to my
e-mail address of my ISP, I *do* get my own posts to the list echoed.
the only time they are not is when they are forwarded to my gmail
account -- to check when I get back to Toronto.
