The really stupid part is that I set up a filter with the From address as
ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com, and the action to take as "Never Spam"... and
it still doesn't work. I go to Google Mail and their resolution is
"something's wrong with THEIR mail server settings. Unbelievable! If the
only mail I can't get is MY OWN, then how is it possible that the Ubu mail
server is the problem ?
