Also you're on OVH, about which a quick look through the list's archives will
possibly prove instructive. It's reasonably likely (as likely as not) that
you're running on an IP in a neighbourhood with some poor neighbours.
From personal experience, the 'bad neighbour' syndrome is a bitch...
It's also quite hard to get around as a small mailserver operator. All
the cheap hosting companies are likely to suffer from 'bad neighbour'
problems, and you often can't run a sending MTA from a home/SMB
broadband connection.
You could stick with it. As a few recipients start removing you from
their spam folders, your reputation may improve slowly.
An easier (but more expensive) 'solution' would be to pay to send your
mail through an SMTP relay service operated by someone else. Maybe your
ISP has such a service you can use, or there are companies out there
that'll do it for you, and part of what you're paying for is their
efforts to manage their servers' reputations.

No, it's not their network. It's our common network. If anybody imposes own

But Gmail is their system. They can decide which emails to accept and
which not to (or which to put into a user's spam folder). If the
recipients don't like it, they can complain to Gmail (or go elsewhere).
From my experience, Gmail is actually not that bad - at least they put
your message into a spam folder where it may possibly be found. I know
other big email service providers who will just silently discard your
messages, never to be seen again.
