I use another SMTP server . See, when Gmail find that the SMTP server
sending the mail is itself and the sender is you, it take it like a bug

a solution is to use a different SMTP server to send your mail (even
though it's with the gmail address) . But i kinda think there was a
setting you would do in gmail to get those mail ... hmm.. I don't
remember at all

Well, except that Gmail publishes an SPF record saying where authorized mail
comes from:

$ dig -ttxt gmail.com

This means that sending from another SMTP server is going to look suspicious
to some. See:
