VPN problem solved.

[Derek Trotter]

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.
