the same email address for 30 years plastered in many many pages...it attracts lots of spam and as a result google/microsoft classified it as spam itself. we do not act as a relay...

My domain blocked the ports due to DoS attacks...

VM has not blocked my domain

You can set up your own filter to whitelist anything from your dodgy-assed domain so it doesn't hit the spam filter. If Google is actively blocking the domain completely (as in when you send email from it, you get an SMTP error), then Gmail and Virgin's mail will block identically.

Ultimately, the solution to your problem is to sort out the domain itself.
Yes, google (and as you say VM) filters the email and rejects all email from my domain as my domain is erroneously in their spamlist. We file a request and google/microsoft un-lists us only to re-list us automatically after few weeks...
