I don’t think so as email forwarding is pretty basic and it’s blocked even for tiny messages.
I suspect it was just some stupid developer pre-optimizing, thinking they were clever and not thinking through use cases. “Every email from me to me will skip external routing and just get flagged in storage; therefore, any email from and to me and not through that process must be fraud and we’ll just save the user from that and black hole it.”
- kube-system 6y agoIIRC, at one point in time, there was a way to evade spam filtering by setting the “from” and “to” to the recipient. Maybe this has something to do with that
- prepend 6y agoPerhaps but this is where gmail is being stupid as they should be able to authenticate that the message actually was genuinely generated from a gmail account.
