I have a list that is email enabled. When I check the permissions on the library itself, it says I have contribute rights so I can view, add, update, and delete list items and documents. When I email a document to the list, if I don't have 'Accept e-mail messages from any sender' selected, the email never gets into the list. When 'Accept e-mail messages based on document library permissions' is selected, the mail item appears in the Drop folder and then the timer service comes around and the item is removed, but never delivered into the list.
I imagine Sharepoint is looking at something in the email and not seeing that my email account is the same as my AD account's email. But maybe that isn't the case. Is it described somewhere how Sharepoint determines who can email into a list beyond 'be in the security group'? How does it parse the message and then do the look up?
EDIT
Here's the message from the ULS viewer when document library permissions is on
An error occurred while processing the incoming e-mail file c:\inetpub\mailroot\drop\ed79adfc01cf76a40000000c.eml. The error was: Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource..
So, it's like it is trying to put the document into the list but can't? Or does the service that the timer runs under need some sort of rights to AD?
EDIT The x-sender is just x-sender: [email protected] and this resolves to a user in active directory. In my ULS, when the email is removed from the Drop folder, there are seven entries:

Further Edits The server involved is the only web front end and SMTP server. There is no exchange server as email is handled by an external entity. There is a central AD server that everyone is authenticated against and has been importing users correctly. We are using Sharepoint 15.0.4569.1506 with all other servers running that version. Claims authentication by default to our AD server as well.
No other events in the event log. Only the same events listed above underneath Microsoft->SharePointProducts->Shared->Operational.
