George,
All mail sent to Google mail recipients, from my server, are being blocked.
The rest of sent emails from the server are being deferred for a time and
sometimes not delivered.
This is exactly what I receive, for deferred, from more than 1 recipient.

"The original message was received at Tue, 15 Oct 2013 10:34:42 -0400
from [xx.xxx.xxx.54]

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
<TXXXXXXH at aol.com>... Deferred: Connection refused by mailin-03.mx.aol.com.
Warning: message still undelivered after 4 hours
Will keep trying until message is 5 days old"

My reverse DNS checks fine from outside over the net.
I tested at a few websites that check for open relays, ports, dns check etc.
and everything checks out fine.
I also ran a few local tests to make sure the smtp was working. 
So I'm figuring, since it takes forever for Gmail to release a targeted IP,
just change it. I own 5 and am using 2.
But only 1 is targeted by Gmail.
Thank you for the help
Tom
