If you can wire up linux sendmail to gmail and send messages directly from the terminal as your mystic bbs user account, you can wire up mystic to sendmail. In fact this was the only way I was able to get it working, but it also feels like the "right" way anyway.

I know this answer wasn't super descriptive but my hope is that it gets you going on the right path. I can't remember how I got everything set up in the first place but step one is get it so you can use sendmail from terminal and send something through gmail.
