You can configure Direct Mail to send email through your Gmail account. Please note that (as of this writing) Gmail limits the number of outgoing emails per day to 500 (more information: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=22839). To send email though Gmail, you need to add it as another "Outgoing Mail Account".

Click the "Outgoing Mail Accounts" tab.
