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)
