Maybe I've been lucky but implementing DKIM, DMARC and SSL SMTP support seems to have been enough to make gmail happy (I even get the small "lock" icon in gmail inboxes as a bonus).
I've used one of the many blacklist check websites to test my domain and only ended up with two false positives which I've rectified through their web forms.
It was mostly smooth sailing from there.
Note that this is using a dedicated server as a host, a while ago I tried the same thing from my home ADSL (with a static IP) and that was a pain since those "home" addresses are generally blacklisted by default since people tend to assume that emails from those addresses are sent by compromised computers.
Nowadays I know many ISPs even block port 25 by default so that's not even an option anymore.
