I was pleased to see the advice below on how to get your own list messages sent from a Google client, as my subscribers complain about their messages going AWOL all the time. Alas, it has the following note at the bottom:
"I have tested this and while it seems to work, it doesn't. What the filter does is put a copy of the sent message in your inbox as it is sent so it appears that you received the list post, but the message in your inbox is the same message that's in your sent folder. It's not the message received from the list.”
Do those messages really show up in the spam folder without this filter? (I don’t use Gmail).
No, they do not.
If so, then the server is, indeed, sending the message to the mail client, and the mail client is doing the message ID linking locally, discarding the incoming duplicate. Would a change in mail client solve that?
This is a Google thing. It does not depend on the client. I.e., it is the same regardless of whether your client is Gmail's web mail or a Gmail phone app or some other imap or pop3 client accessing gmail.
The message is sent from the list server to the recipient's gmail/googlemail MTA and that MTA determines the Message-ID is a dup of one in the sent folder and discards it.
