They were concerned about putting sensitive information (password) 
inside the script, in order to connect to Gmail to send the mail notifications.
I say that there is no need to use Gmail smtp services: to send mail 
*to* anyone at anywhere.com, you only have to connect to the right SMTP 
server for anywhere.com. The *from* email address is irrelevant and 
can even be faked.
Of course a spam filter could block such mails, but you have to test it.
