Probably means that Volker's SMTP server has a bad reputation with google 
because of one of the following:

* It's used to send spam

* Lacks reverse DNS

* Is in some kind of RBL (although google doesn't use any public ones)

The solution is for Volker to call his sysadmin/ISP/cousin-that-configured-
his-server and complain that he can't send mail to google.
