gmail irritates me to no end. Along with a lot of other spam filters who 
fail to check a domains email reputation stopping once they see a dynamic 
IP.  As best I can tell, all I did on that link was cut and paste that 
change to apply  to my version of beta3.  I did try to reply to a message 
from weewx-devel, but it bounced due to missing PTR record on my IPv6, so I 
finally fixed that.  I also added an attachment via the weewx-devel 
conversation  but that doesn't appear to be the cause.  No more ranting. 
Sorry.
