Does the list management software send to "some_address" and bcc the rest? I host a handful of email lists user counts between 200 and 500 members; three of them send to between 125 and 170 gmail.com accounts.
Google hasn't tagged me as a spammer. Even after the WordPress compromise that did spew spam for a few days. To start visit: https://www.senderscore.org/ and see what the reputation of your domains is. This will also provide some clues as to the why. Can you also post up some of what Google's response has been? We may be able to translate whatever into human text.
