127.0.0.1 accepted it, and log from original email showed BF57C7FE0 was accepted by GMail.

Where's the problem? Queued to 127.0.0.1 and then sent to GMail. What did I miss on the last few lines?

Where's the earlier log info for this message? Perhaps if you use postcat to examine the message, it might shed some light on the problem.

>> Is this just gmail's server being flaky or what?

Without postconf -n and more complete log info we can't be sure.
