Can you show us how exactly you configured git smtp client and/or other smtp clients you tried ?
Just tried using msmtp, it also did not send with the +arch intact, even when setting "from" and "user" to include it.

Uh, I didn't even know about about that gmail special feature "plus addressing". You didn't mention that, I thought you created another full account. I learned it there : http://www.php.net/manual/fr/ref.mail.php#70912 I suppose gmail accounts cannot have + then ? So yeah it seems it's gmail smtp server that accepts name+foo address, but it drops the +foo part. And gmail web interface must do something special to talk to smtp server then. But you don't need a different address to filter messages from a mailing list. Or maybe you have other special needs.
