Allow me to email myself, or add documentation stating this isn't allowed.

I wast testing the service and emailed myself, but this doesn't seem to be allowed, at least not from gmail.

I created email alias for my regular gmail address and sent my aliased email an email from that account, but the email never arrived. I then sending one from another of my email addresses tied to the same gmail account which also don't arrive. I asked a friend to email the alias, and his email arrived. I created an alias for his email address and emailed it from my gmail and that email also arrived.

Is this intentional? I'm sure I can't be the only one that is going to try the service out by emailing myself and get confused.

Another data point: While I was showing my girlfriend the service she attempted to do the same thing (email herself) to test the service.

I've seen this too while testing with gmail. This isn't something tempalias does. The mail gets sent, rewritten and delivered to googles MX. It just never appears in the gmail inbox. There's no NDR being generated and the mail doesn't appear as spam either.

Maybe I can try to investigate a bit what google is doing here.

Note that sending from gmail to an alias that points to another gmail account works fine
