Glad you're here and listening. I'm another poor schmuck who runs his own email server for family members (you can look it up from my HN profile -> mx record) and Gmail deliverability has been a problem for me for over a decade. I do DKIM, SPF, reverse DNS, had the same IP for many years, etc etc., and it's a total crapshoot whether Gmailers get my message in their inbox or spam folder. Postmaster tools have been useless for me because apparently my volumes aren't high enough. I'm inclined to think Gmail's approach to this problem is fundamentally flawed, because Gmail has been by far the worst at binning my server's emails. I don't have this problem with Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo, etc., etc. Now, feel free to argue that their approaches are too lenient, but if I have to choose between false negatives and false positives in my spam filter, I absolutely know which one I'd choose.
