I have one VPN user who must use a POP3 account, and several others

How are those users set up? Can you *describe* what the problem i or
should we guess?
As more than a few publicly available wireless networks block
outgoing mail for obvious reasons, I am looking for a simple and
intuitive means whereby all outgoing mail is directed through VPN
to our local server - using mail.app.
Any ideas?
Implement VPN, they're now on your local network, problem gone...
provided the remote network permits VPN connections, which many do
not. In which case use a ssh tunnel on a port that's open.
