I'm sending mail to a colleague via my gmail address with:-

cat test.mail |  msmtp -a gmail collea...@company.co.uk

where "gmail" is the name of my account in the .msmtprc file.

As I say, the mail delivery works fine with my colleague receiving the
mail, and I get a copy in my gmail sent items.  However, iptables -nvL
shows "0" in both the pkts and the bytes columns, as if nothing has been
sent.  A minor point I know, but all my other traffic (ntp, http, dns, ssh)
is recorded by iptables in those two columns.
