Bypass VPN to allow specific LAN IP to send email from server

Hello!

So I am googling like a crazy person and either #1 I can not find a solution or #2 everyone else solution's apparently do not work for me.
I am pretty sure, but can not say for sure, that it is an OPNSense configuration issue, but it is still an OpenVPN config on OpnSense I am having the issue with.
Maybe someone here can still assist?

192.168.5.2 - 192.168.5.175 are DHCP Server and when VPN enabled, all IP's have the VPN WAN IP.
I have 192.168.5.180, outside the DHCP Pool, that runs an email server to a specific WAN IP (I have multiple wan ips and virtual ip etc all set up) needless to say, VPN off,it works.
When VPN is on, 192.168.5.180 has VPN WAN IP, but still receives emails, that is awesome.. But sending, I get connection refused! I disable VPN, and it sends like normal.
Unless this is common with a common fix, I assume I just wanna take 192.168.5.180 OUT of connecting to the VPN.

Is there a way for this?
