Hi Nathaniel,
You are also involved. :-P
Seriously I think what is occurring is that the the mailing list sends
the email with foo at gmail.com in the from address. This is standard
behaviour so far.
The problem occurs when Google's Gmail servers receive these emails
and look at the From: header and then the Received: headers that as
suspect that it's not correct.
Only gmail users will see this message, if the original email was sent
to the mailing list from a gmail user. Have a look at other messages
that were sent from the mailing list.
This is short but happy to expand on it later tonight.
Regards
George
