Thanks Brandon, We actually just got to that realization as well, and in
hindsight it looks pretty trivial:

We indeed separate different email product functions by different list
identifications. when we re-activated them, we immediately 'aided' gmail
(and others) back to discerning our misbehaving functions from our more
well-behaving ones.
So, this is actually very good for us, as we can now tell which functions
are possibly less desired by our users, or causes redundant e-mails, etc.
it actually makes a case for reactivation - there's no need to risk more
broad blocks just to push through undesired/problematic e-mails.

>From a technical standpoint, I'd imagine any of these headers could
possibly trigger it but I'd assume that list-id is a solid choice for a
silo differentiator.

I'll follow-up off-list from here.
