Google thinks that I am sending an unusual rate of unsolicited email and has blocked my IP address. Why? What do I do to correct and prevent this?

The email in one case was to a family member (only recipient; 3 emails same day). The second case was a ‘mass mailing’ of an article to 4 colleagues. only one of which had a gmail address.
I am using a VPN connection and a gmail account for outgoing mail. If I reset the VPN location I can start sending emails again.
Hello, what version of eM Client are you currently using on your computer, can you please check the exact release number in Help > About? I’m afraid this is not an eM Client related issue, as the high volume of unsolicited emails is detected from your IP address, this could be caused by anyone in your network as well.
