Sounds like you could simply set a gmail filter for each of the
originating systems to 'never send to spam'.

More generally, when you set up originating email for any hosted
domain, ensure that the IP address(es) of the boxes originating
the emails are listed in DNS SPF records:

SPF records are not *required* but really do help to get mail delivered.

Hope that helps...
