Yes, I have managed to relay thru gmail. It was a bit hard to set up - build Postfix with SASL, sniff the traffic to figure out who signed gmail's SSL cert (Thawte), download CA cert - but I know how to do it. ;-)

The downside is, the gmail relay rewrites the headers in annoying ways, so I'm not using it in general. If necessary I could relay just the "build breakage" thru them.

Actually my incoming nimblemachines.com mail gets sent from my dynamic IP thru normal (non-AUTH, non-SSL) SMTP to gmail, and they accept it fine. So if I can send the build results to a gmail account, there are no problems. Hmm - and that account could forward to the git list...
