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 k...@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.
