How are you reading your Gmail?  Direct at the web, or do you download 
it to your computer and use an email client?  I do the latter, and use 
Thunderbird to handle the mail.  Your own posts are *never* downloaded 
in this situation - something I've gotten used to since I started using 
this set-up earlier this year.  I know it's not just "me" - I've read 
discussion about this situation on other lists, too.

That explains you not receiving your own posts; can't explain others not 
receiving your posts - except, have they checked their spam folder on 
the web recently?  While it is very effective, it's not perfect and I 
sometimes find genuine mail there and have to mark it as "not spam" to 
educate their filters.

Hope this helps.  :-)

Kind Regards,
