Mailing to my_host (which forwards email to my gmail address), does not work.
Mailing to localhost does indeed forward properly.
This used to work, though. I'm assuming i made a change and forgot what it was. Please help me figure this out.

OK, so that's a local issue. And should have been more obvious. Thanx.
Now to see why the email is not forwarding.
From the linode:
mail test@my_host
Subject: test
test

I receive the email on gmail as soon as i check. Sending it to that address from gmail itself fails. I noticed it just before as a website was emailing my forwarded address and i never received it.
I'm still trying want to figure out why i can't email it from gmail, and why another website sending me a confirmation email fails. Maybe i ought to try until tomorrow.

Maybe I'm reading you wrong. But if your test is
Hmm, now I'm kind of curious if it's based on the existence of a copy of the mail in your Sent Items folder, or something else. I guess it could be tested by setting the forwarding server to delay the mail by a few minutes, and deleting the Sent Items copy in the meantime…
