    I'm trying out a new free web-mail service at www.altbox.org. When I
    sent a msg. to myself from there, to there, I noticed that the message
    header included "GMail" like so:

    Message-Id: <GMail.1091084867.158855677.17010927485@altbox.org>

    Does this mean that altbox.org is using Google's new Gmail service as
    a host, or router? I'm thinking that perhaps Google is paying other
    mail services to route through them, so that Google can store data
    from other e-mail services, in addition to theirs. Am I being too
    paranoid here?
