Surely if they're at work, they should be sending mail through their company
SMTP server? Regardless of the confusion involved in requiring people to reply
to a different address than the one they've received the message from, most
businesses would take a very dim view of using a home email address (and
therefore identity) for official purposes.

VPN, surely?

As of time of posting, I have not received any email from relay.metronet.co.uk
(212.159.11.48), blocked or otherwise.
