Some, messages, but not all?

That sounds like par for the course for the Rube Goldberg contraption that is 
gmail.

That *does* point out that the domain has not published a DMARC policy.

As noted earlier[1], we have it on good authority that the messages offered to 
the
public from that system are (possibly on purpose) rather non-specific and may 
in fact
not indicate the actual cause of the action taken.

Again, it should be relatively easy to cook up a DMARC policy and see if that 
helps.

Yelling in semi-public forums like this one might also yield some value.

All the best,
Peter
