Hello.
Are you by any chance seeing this message?

If so... You might want to try going through the sender guidelines page.
I'm running a clean MTA on a fresh IPv6 address, with correct reverse DNS,
correct SPF, etc, etc. I've never sent or relayed unsolicited mail in my life.
There's a form you can fill out at the end to dispute the mail blocking
once you've ensured you follow all of the guidelines. I filled in the
form this morning, and am waiting for a response.
I think you're just falling foul of a ridiculously and unreasonably
heavy-handed anti-spam process.
No, I'm seeing this message:

I would agree with you that I'm running into an unreasonable and
untransparent anti-spam process. I'm just looking for ways to work around
it.
I've got FCrDNS, SPF, DKIM, all configured correctly and verified by
multiple test sites.
Admittedly, one of my user's accounts was hacked and was being used for a
brief period of time to send spam. However, this was stopped on 19 June,
and here we are several weeks later still running into this problem.
I'm sure there are dozens of gmail accounts being used to send spam at any
given time, but you don't see everyone else refusing to receive mail from
gmail!
