The issue that I've seen is where a road-warrior is visiting another
company's location, where they get a private IP address (10.x.x.x,
192.168.x.x, etc.), and the firewall is such that only HTTP traffic is
allowed to pass. And even that traffic gets put through a proxy server,
sometimes with a username/password becaues the company heavily monitors
web usage.
Been there, done that....
So it does happen, generally the only choices are:
- sent via the internal SMTP server, changing addresses/reply-to enough
to get the mail routed outbound (good idea to use PGP/GPG at this point)
- borrow somebody's fax line for a few minutes and dial-out to a public
ISP, then VPN/SSH to the proper SMTP server back at your office
- use a web-mail package to check for any new mail back at the office
- go find a local public WiFi access point where you can "phone home"
- wait until you get back to the hotel in the afternoon/evening
- VPN over port 80 (e.g. with httptunnel[1])
