Folk,

A tunnel as described in openvpn.man, Example  2 
works between my home 10.4.0.1 and work 10.4.0.2 
machines.
"ping 10.4.0.1" from 10.4.0.2
and 
"ping 10.4.0.2" from 10.4.0.1
succeed as expected.

10.4.0.1 and peasthope.yi.org both refer to the 
machine at home where mail is accumulated by fetchmail.
A machine on the LAN connected to 10.4.0.2 can 
retrieve mail from peasthope.yi.org via the Internet.
But, of course, I prefer to retrieve through the tunnel.

As I understand, the section of openvpn.man entitled 
"Routing" addresses this, but here, routing should be 
specified using shorewall rather than the iptables 
command in openvpn.man.  I've read 
http://www.shorewall.net/OPENVPN.html
and remain uncertain about routing.
Are the policies
#SOURCE        DEST          POLICY          LOG LEVEL
loc            vpn           ACCEPT
vpn            loc           ACCEPT
sufficient to get the routing?
Is routing a separate matter?

Thanks,                 ... Peter E.
