The wierd thing about this is that it appers to effect only a couple of gmail usres.   For example mail from my gmail account goes through just fine

Are you running a greylist perhaps? Either way, Google 'slams' email. In other words they try once and if the email cannot be delivered before the time out, the failure response is sent. I run milter greylist on one of my sendmail servers and had to include an exception for gmail. Sad but true. Gmail is not really a fully compliant email system but they do a lot of other things very good.

Yes I am running postgrey now.. but this occured even before I added postgrey

plus, thetre still is the issue that some accounts make it and some don't

There is no record of any rejection in my logs
