TOPIC: IP Address being blocked with Google

My IP Address is being blocked with Google on my VPS Account with Host Gator hence all emails to GMail address's are being bounced back. I've been waiting for the IP Address to be removed from the blacklist for almost a week and heard about using Mandrill for my email. I created an account with Mandrill, installed the plugin and component and I'm able to send a test email from the Joomla Backend to my Gmail without a problem. I then logged into webmail and sent another test email from my This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. account and Google blocked like it's been doing. Does Mandrill not mask the IP to keep it from being spammed.

Confused....Please let me know.... or am I just looking for something that's not there.

Thanks
