Googling didn't help?  Surely "gmail mail-list" would find this as the
number one FAQ!  Quite simply, gmail doesn't keep multiple copies of any
mail with the same message-id.  You send mail, it gets a message id, and it
comes back with the same ID - so it's discarded.  

Personally, I don't see the problem (all my mail goes through a "hosted"
gmail service which sounds like what you now have) but then all mail lists
I can possibly get that way (this, included), I read via knode and gmane
news.

Well, naturally.  I have two (pointer _dogs_ that is :-) ).
