I had sent some test email from gmail and several hours later those test messages didn't pass. Maybe I goofed something along the way.

I think I'll look into this next. It seems that the postgrey implementation that I followed from a previous email has stopped the spam, but it's also stopped all other mail also! doh!
If postgrey is working as it should, it will initially respond to all mail with a 4xx (retryable) status. The theory is spambots won't retry, but legitimate MTAs will, usually after a delay of up to 15 minutes or so, but some more than an hour.
As postgrey learns, it will remember triplets (sender, sending IP, recipient) and not delay them and in addition will whitelist domains that retry successfully more than a few times.
Thus, after time, the delayed mail will become less frequent.
