Do you want to use the local sendmail to send SMTP authenticated mail
via your own gmail account (like you do with any mail software) or do
you want to deliver mail to other users @gmail.com?

If the latter is the case, make sure you have matching PTR DNS records
and SPF for both IPv6 and IPv4 and DKIM/DMARC.
