[MlMt] Timing out when sending messages over VPN

[Robert Brenstein]

Are all messages sent thru the same mail server? Have you checked the 
responsive thru your VPN? Have you tried a different VPN or different 
endpoint in your VPN?

I have sort or a reverse issue. I use several mail accounts at different 
providers. When traveling, I can’t sent some messages. At different 
locations, it is a different service that is being refused. I have to 
use VPN for those mails to go out. It is not as simple as just 
geographical location. If I go to a different place in the same town, 
that is use a different internet connection, the service that failed me 
earlier may work just fine.
