   All traffic IS going into the VPN, so effectively you "lost" your direct   
   connection to the internet.   
   So the SMTP server is not accessable via the VPN connection.   
      
   The are 2 possible solutions:   
   - stop using the VPN as your default gateway, use direct internet   
       This only works when you only need access via VPN to services that are   
       located within the same subnet of the VPN connection. All internet   
       traffic will use your direct connection.   
   - add a static route on your computer to the internet SMTP server   
       The SMTP traffic will not be using the VPN anymore. Everything else   
       still uses the VPN, because it remains the default gateway.
