Given that there are headers in there that know about your UID/GID, it
has to be a locally-running process that adds them.  No remote server
(even as powerful as Gmail is) should/can know this legitimately
without being told.  Thus, it's clearly your local MTA.

You could manage your own SMTP connection.  If only Python had some
built in library that handled SMTP, that would be great!  Then you
would be able to instantiate some SMTP object, connect to another
server, optionally authenticating, then send mail, and close the
connection.  That would be so awesome! :-D
