Peter,

Your issue is very unlikely to be Mailmate, but rather how your VPN is 
configured. I have 3 VPN providers as I have to have specific ones for 
specific clients.

Things that come to mind:

1,	As people have already said DNS may be one issue. You already have 
suggestions for this.
2.	It may block outgoing traffic. You need to provide more information 
on the VPN you use to know if this is an issue.
3.	You may your VPN doing some odd routing, so that stuff that should be 
internal is going externally. Unlikely but seen it happen.

Your comment that using a VPN and having expected issues is not what I 
would expect at all. I would expect configuration issues with Tunnelblck 
(which for some reason hates me, mind you I hate it), but we use 
hardwired versions of that as well as Bitdefender and Viscosity. I like 
Viscosity :)

More information helps here.

Rob
