   I presume at the moment your lappy is sending directly to your ISP SMTP   
   server, without using the VPN?   
      
   I think the simplest way would be to set up a machine at home to act as SMTP   
   gateway.  This machine would be on your VPN and always send mail from the   
   same address.   
      
   If you don't want to have a machine at home you should be able to do some   
   trickery with an IP address on your VPN that does a translation to the ISP   
   mail server, but this might be tricky to set up.   
   (So you need to forward requests for port 25 to your virtual mail server on   
   your VPN (let's say 10.99.99.2) to smtp.yourisp)
