when you send very little email to Google/Microsoft servers, not giving you the opportunity to build a good reputation

this is something i find really frustrating, because, how am i supposed to fix that?

it's a personal server. there simply isn't that much outgoing traffic. and then, because google rejects my emails i have to use a different server to send mails to gmail.

so how exactly would i generate that neessary traffic that unblocks me? (this is kind of a rethorical question, i don't expect a real answer here because i don't believe a real answer exists)

should i write every email twice? from two different senders? i feel that would make the emails even more suspect than making things better.

send fake emails? that would be like sending spam in order to convince google that i am not sending spam.

seems to me that if low traffic is really the reason then there is no hope, and all i can do is to give up, which for now is what i did.
