The only problem I see with that is that some mail servers check the
MX record for a domain to ensure the SMTP server the mail was received
from is valid.
This could maybe be circumvented/alleviated by keeping whatever smtp
server we choose in the list of MX's and setting it's metric really
high - that would allow gmail to continue to be the default receiver
of email, while also allowing the sending server to be one of the
"valid" MX hosts.
Of course, I could be completely wrong about all that :)
