So, it classifies as spam, but it doesn't reject?
Correct. gmail appears to treat p=reject as p=quarantine,
so the unintended side effect is only a false positive, not
a bounce.
So the gmail user isn't being kicked off the list, at this point?
That issue would affect the user at example.com (whose domain specifies
p=reject)
