When you say local, that means emails delivered from one user on your Linux box to another user on your Linux box. I'm not sure that's what you need, so be careful which terms you use to explain your problem.

As for sending an email from your Linux box to Gmail, it is possible, I used to do it until I had issues with my ISP.
