<p>You could just autoforward mail sent to gmail as explained here:
<a href="https://support.google.com/mail/answer/10957?hl=en">https://support.google.com/mail/answer/10957?hl=en</a>.</p>
<p>Alternatively you could check your gmail inbox with a local client using POP or IMAP.</p>

<p>Yes, there are shitloads of workarounds which I could implement. That's besides the point.</p>
<p>The fact of the matter is, I have an MX in my DNS, and this MX is verified by DNSSEC. That, and only that, should define where mail to my mail address needs to be routed.</p>
<p>Anything else is completely and utterly <strong>wrong</strong>.</p>

Creatively wrong. Wrong on a level which takes significant effort. So unbelievable wrong that I almost admire it.
Gmail handling secondary mail addresses oddlyhttps://grep.be/blog//en/computer/cluebat/dear_google_gmail/comment_2207/Philipp Kern (pkern@debian.org)2014-03-01T13:42:06Z2014-01-04T01:14:45Z
This behavior should only be the case when you send a mail from Gmail to your secondary address (e.g. To or even Bcc). in this case it will create an unread mail in the inbox (or set unread on the sent item). The mail will still be delivered to the MX of your secondary address.

<p>I don't know about what "should" be the case. I <strong>do</strong> know that there have been several cases of people sending me email through google servers where the mail was redirected to my gmail address, and I did <em>not</em> see the mail until I logged in to gmail.</p>
<p>Apparently there are cases where the mail will still arrive correctly, as you've shown by sending me a mail from gmail. Still, that doesn't mean there's no problem.</p>

Well, I believe that this is a bug. If you are comfortable relaying headers to me (s/debian.org/google.com) I can probably point someone at it.

I've seen the letter/word/word notation a lot on the internet and don't know what it means.
