you can either configure your sendmail to connect to google (probably
via stunnel or putty) and pass the email on that way, or you could
write a small script that took the php://stdin and uses phpmailer to
connect to google for you (again probably through something that can
handle SSL) you get the added bonus of having being able to dump the
mail locally before it is sent by phpmailer.
both of these options use the method above with a tweak to either your
sendmail executable, or the script that handles the mail.
