Subject: VPN problem solved.
You might remember the problem I had with sending mail while the VPN was
connected. I just got that fixed. I can't take the credit. I finally
contacted the people at vpnsecure.me and Shane gave me the solution.

First I had to add this to the hosts file.
74.125.137.16 smtp.googlemail.com

Then I had to enter this. 10.0.0.1 is my router's IP address.
route add -net 74.125.137.16 netmask 255.255.255.255 gw 10.0.0.1

Then I was advised to put that in /etc/rc.local which I haven't done
yet. After following the instructions it worked. I thought I would
pass along the solution in the event someone else finds it useful.
