I also did the same for another mail server. All I did is replace it's ip address for the one that goes with smtp.googlemail.com. I don't see why this wouldn't work for any other ip address you might want to connect to.

    You might remember the problem I had with sending mail while the
    VPN was connected.  I just got that fixed.  I can't take the
    credit.  I finally contacted the people at vpnsecure.me
    <http://vpnsecure.me> and Shane gave me the solution.

    First I had to add this to the hosts file.
    74.125.137.16 smtp.googlemail.com <http://smtp.googlemail.com>

    Then I had to enter this.  10.0.0.1 is my router's IP address.
    route add -net 74.125.137.16 netmask 255.255.255.255 gw 10.0.0.1

    Then I was advised to put that in /etc/rc.local which I haven't
    done yet.  After following the instructions it worked.  I thought
    I would pass along the solution in the event someone else finds it
    useful.
