You can use any email server to facilitate email messaging, however if your campus does not have an email server then you can use gmail as an email gateway. See below for more details.

If you do not have a campus email server to use, then try using GMail as your email gateway server. See the link below for instructions.

Please note: For this to work, you will have to make sure the local repository server has unrestricted access to the GMail server via your campus firewall and that all the relevant ports are open on your local server.
