	Which is correct... And is nothing YOU will set up (if you had the
privileges to create an SMTP daemon, you'd have the privileges to use a
blocked port).

	Just replace the SMTP server, username, and password with the
relevant information for your university system. It shouldn't matter
that the email identifies to recipients with a Google email ID -- all
you change is the /server/ that sends the email to the world.
