If someone's Gmail account was "hijacked", they must have had a weak or
compromised password.  This has nothing to do with you or anyone else
running an anonymizing proxy network.
Linode abuse department is likely similar to other ISPs i have dealt
with, they just forward user complaints, without examining them, to the
ip block owner.  I had to be firm a couple of times in showing my
provider how the complaint was in fact due to the complainant's
negligence or faulty policy.
