Gmail often reports this about Python list messages because they are
being sent through Python's mailing list servers but have the From
address showing up as the poster's email address.

Shows that Google's "my way or the highway" approach to security is
problematic when it comes to traditional internet services like
listservs.  To say nothing of how they break mailing lists by throwing
out your own messages to the list. Google products are definitely
getting more and more frustrating for us traditional users.
