Ryan,
Have you checked the mailserver logs?  That might tell you if certain 
ISPs are rejecting the messages, and may give a reason.

Sometimes ISPs will reject a message if the sender's domain doesn't 
match the domain it's coming from.  You can set up your mail server to 
authenticate with and use Gmail's SMTP servers to send mail.  This 
"how-to" gives an example of how to do it with msmtp:

When I checked the headers, I'm seeing X-Spam-score of 9 or 10 from the confirmation emails ([log in to unmask]) and password reset emails ([log in to unmask]). I received both messages fine, and they didn't land in my spam/junk folder. Perhaps other people might have had those messages land in their spam/junk folders? Assuming the messages left the oregonstate.edu server.
