I'm assuming here that you mean:
- send a message from my home machine through GMail's SMTP server(s) using a
GMail account "identity" to be received by that same GMail address used
when composing the message.
Nope, never considered that scenario... however, as I consider it now...
- I compose a message to a list using a GMail account "identity"
- I send that message to the list using GMail's SMTP server(s)
- When the list sends "my" message "back", it is then successfully retrieved
from GMail by my local fetchmail
The difference in the two scenarios being that the message has passed
through the maillist's server(s)...

This might be significant...
I have my several GMail accounts all set to the ALL messages POP mode.
