Well summarised. It may well be possible to create an @gmail.com 
identity for googlemail users, but as my account is old and I was always 
well aware of the issues involved, this has never been an issue for me 
as I was on many mailing lists using gmail until I got annoyed by their
IMAP being unacceptably slow and moved to a self hosted solution.

I've never had problems being filtered as spam by spoofing my address. I 
used to get gmail SMTP to to send my list messages as though they came 
from the forwarder [personalwebsite at army dot com] part of the 
fanmail.com network and subscribed to many google groups and mailman 
lists with that address, with no problems.
