Well, it's not a "configuration overlay", but that's beside the point.
You are posting here from a gmail address. Gmail users NEVER receive
their own posts from lists. This is a Gmail "feature". See the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/2IA9> for more info.

Yes, but if you post from and receive your mail at Gmail, Gmail throws
it away.

Correct.

There is no overriding admin configuration that would change these
behaviors. If Gmail is not the reason, then it is something else in the
delivery chain back to you. With the settings you describe, Mailman will
send you copies of your own posts.
