I think you mean "reputation purposes"?

If so, wow, that sucks. Their opaque rules have conditioned their counterparties to punish Google as hard as possible for a screwup.

That better describes what I was trying to say, yes. Reputation then affecting deliverability.

Over 80% of our subscribers use Gmail so to say I'm paranoid about maintaining a good record with them is an understatement ;-) Gmail is a huge weak link for us.
