You know, I think we may have a British English/American English issue going 
on, here. If, by "collecting", you're saying that I go out to gmail via POP 
and get mail, I don't. All mail that gets sent to that account is 
automatically forwarded to my business email account. I almost never interact 
directly with gmail.

If I send an email to the list via my business SMTP server, Fedora-list will 
reject it if I'm subscribed via my gmail account (I'm not, but I've tried 
this)

Your use of the word "collect" is throwing me, again.

yes, I can SMTP anywhere via my ISP or via gmail

no - if you'reimplying that I have two subscriptions with delivery turned off 
for one - but you're giving me an idea...

But I want list mail delivered to my business ISP inbox - that's the whole 
point

Like I said above, I think we're getting into a British/American English 
problem - or else, I'm just getting senile, which is entirely possible, so, 
to answer your question, no, something is not making sense - either I'm not 
explaining myself well, or you're not understanding me well, or a bit of 
both.

Here again, if Chasecreek Jones had it right, it's the fedora-list software 
that allows gmail to filter out my return mails, by looking for that line in 
the header added by the listserv software that has the word "copy" in it.
