Get smtp set up on your site, then, inside of a normal gmail account, go to settings -> accounts and import -> send mail from another address. Type in your name and server info. Click "reply form same address email was sent to". On your server, forward incoming mails to your gmail account. Voila.
I have done it this way because (1) some people think your company is not legit if you get emails from companyn...@gmail.com, and (2) if you send from n...@company.com using gmails smtp servers, many email accounts will display "n...@gmail.com ON BEHALF OF n...@company.com" which makes a lot of people queasy.
