As with several others, our sends to Gmail go fine. (Both from our general
outgoing mail servers and from our mailing list server.)

It's quite possible Gmail doesn't like this combination (assuming that you
send to this list via the same machine your server sends to Gmail:

$host danielwebb.us
danielwebb.us has address 64.81.101.157
[$host 64.81.101.157
157.101.81.64.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer
dsl081-101-157.den1.dsl.speakeasy.net.

Speakeasy will provide explicit DNS, assuming you are on a fixed IP, which
is probably a good assumption. We bought a line from competitor Speakeasy
to have a DSL connection which did not depend on our DSL equipment or our
ATM feed...when turned up, it had the prior customer's reverse DNS (which
Speakeasy quickly fixed when told of it).
