G-Mail Blocking

We have discovered that the folks at Google are blocking (not
returning!) our site from receiving mail to authorized g-mail
accounts. We have tried sending to abuse () gmail com etc etc, but of
course no one is getting the correspondence.

Has anyone else out there had a similar situation and how did you
resolve it? I suppose I could always resort to a Hotmail or Yahoo
account to get my point across. Our internet provider indicates that
trace routes reveal the mail is stopping at gmail. hmmmm.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
