Install ssmtp:

Edit this file: /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf (for security reasons, maybe you should change permissions to this file with chmod, because your password is readable).

set these lines,:

   mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
   UseSTARTTLS=YES

   // In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we should use wordwrap()
   $message = wordwrap($message, 70, "\r\n");
   $subject = "Printing resign document";
   $to = 'YOUR_ACCOUNT@gmail.com';
   if(mail($to,$subject, $message)){
       I2CE::raiseError('Success sending email');
   }else{
       I2CE::raiseError('Error sending email');
