Umm... why on earth are you doing that? It sounds convoluted and 
unnecessary to me (in fact, I think it is downright weird).

The list address must appear in the To: or CC: header of the e-mail 
delivered to mailman or an acceptable list alias can be present. The 
only other option is to have require_explicit_destination set to NO 
(which is not recommended).

Probably the best way to deal with this in your case with this weird 
configuration is to have the gmail address you are sending to added 
to acceptable_aliases on the Privacy Options -> Recipient filters page.
