An update.

I contacted my domain host, in this case Richard at Orpheus.

Here's his reply which he is happy to share.

"We have checked our servers and can see no reason for the rejection
even an external checker agrees that the domain has SPF and DKIM. I am
sorry but you will have to discuss this with Google, especially as other
emails on the domain get through with no issues. It may be that they
don't like the address being so short and neat, but that's just an odd
thought.   Regards   Richard"

To explain, I have three e-address at my domain npost.uk  thus:-

cjazz
mec
gr

The gr standing for Georgia Ramblers, a traditional jazz band I run.

I thought gr at npost.uk would be a short, memorable address for folk to
remember and would fit neatly on my business cards.

I now realize this is the sort of weird address that spammers might use.

The other two addresses seem to work OK  and the gr works OK about 80% of
the time.

Curiouser and curiouser.
