This is exactly the problem you run into when sending mails to Gmail: For them there are only bulk senders and gmail address owners. In their whole documentation / faq they don’t even mention small businesses or regular people owning a mailserver to just get contact other human beings. People at Google might be the smartest under the sun, but they don’t understand email: It’s primarily a way for people to communicate with each other. In Google’s eyes it’s only a way to deliver advertising to end users. Edited for typo

> People at Google might be the smartest under the sun, but they don’t understand email Oh no, they understand email very well. They're just arseholes who want to force "regular joe" and small business to use their services. This isn't some kind of accidental incompetence. There's no "whoops, sorry your mail isn't getting delivered, our bad!"-type situation going on. This is a deliberate strategy of making it as hard as possible for people to run their own mail servers. Of course they hide behind the excuse that you might be a spammer. But given Google's massive resources, there's no way in hell they can't tell ham from spam.
