Hello all,

I have MPD setup to create pptp VPN.  I have a couple of questions.

1) How do I make traffic coming from a host that's connected to the VPN 
look like it's coming from a VPN IP address?  Currently it comes from 
their real, i.e. public IP address.

2) I use SSL for mail retrieval currently.  Right now, if I'm connected 
to my VPN, if I try to retrieve email, I get nothing.  If I look in 
/var/log/messages, I see the following:

Any idea why this would be?  I have a feeling it's because the server 
is trying to send to my public IP address, but that's being blocked by 
the VPN from the server side.  I'm all confused now.

Thanks for you help.
