Answer 1

Another option I have working, in a linux server with Postfix:

First, configure CI email to use your server's email system: eg, in email.php, for example

# alias to postfix in a typical Postfix server
$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail'; 
$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; 

Then configure your postfix to relay the mail to google (perhaps depending on the sender address). You'll probably need to put you user-password settings in /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd (docs)

This is much simpler (and less fragmente) if you have a linux box, already configured to send some/all of its outgoing emails to Google.
