Never post your email address in any forum, unless you really like spam! If anyone replies to you, you will receive an email to let you know

Yes you can send mail through gmail to the client if the SMTP server is not installed.

C#

string emailid=emailtxt.Text;

 MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
            mail.To.Add(emailid);
            
            mail.From = new MailAddress("xyz@gmail.com");
            mail.Subject = "Email using Gmail";

            string Body = "Hi all" ;
                       
            mail.Body = Body;
 
            mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
            SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
            smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; 
            smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential
                 ("xyz@gmail.com", "yourpassword");
            
            smtp.EnableSsl = true;
            smtp.Send(mail);

Send mail from Proxy Server using gmail
Yes, you can send. GMail has exposed it's SMTP server name(smtp.gmail.com) and PORT(587) for it.
Try:

VB

Imports System.Net.Mail
Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Try
            Dim SmtpServer As New SmtpClient()
            Dim mail As New MailMessage()
            SmtpServer.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("username@gmail.com", "password")
            SmtpServer.Port = 587
            SmtpServer.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"
            mail = New MailMessage()
            mail.From = New MailAddress("YOURusername@gmail.com")
            mail.To.Add("TOADDRESS")
            mail.Subject = "Test Mail"
            mail.Body = "This is for testing SMTP mail from GMAIL"
            SmtpServer.Send(mail)
            MsgBox("mail send")
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.ToString)
        End Try
    End Sub
End Class

Still, In case needed, have a look at these:

No. The SMTPClient class doesn't support proxies.

There's really not even a specification for SMTP proxy support as far as I know. There are work arounds, but companies rarely ever let you get away with using them.

You would normally have a SMTP server INSIDE your proxy that can forward mail to outside mail servers.
