I use gmail for mailing lists that I subscribe to. Their archiving is a |
| 25 |
perfect feature for me. However, I do not wish to use it for anything else. |

The email headers do not indicate that the offending traffic went through |
| 28 |
google, but prodigy.net does appear. |

I do have a postfix instance running, but the only thing I expect it to do |
| 31 |
is a bit of spam filtering on the odd email that comes to me directly, and |
| 32 |
then send it to my ISP. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
The traffic seems to originate on my system, is sent (SMTP?) to my ISP |
| 35 |
(because of the TO: address), and then the story gets a bit muddy, because |
| 36 |
I'm not sure which entity objects to the sender address. |
