And..., Ben's GMail account just sent me a bounce-message
about how it thought that message was spam. Anyone have any idea
what's up with that?

I heard that SORBs just started blocking the subnets used by the company
hosting my mail-server as part of November 2010 DUHL expansion,
and so some ISPs' customers can't receive e-mail from people using that
hosting service. I thought GMail was supposed to be smarter than that,
though.

Maybe it was the list of suprisingly-related different types of devices
that all run Linux--`too many words not previously known to be related
to each other, you're either insightful or a spammer'?
