A note about sending as your St. Mary's account via an external provider
Some external providers allow you to “send as” your St. Mary's account. If the provider allows you to specify the St. Mary's SMTP server to send (see above for details), then this could be satisfactory.
On the other hand, if the external provider merely spoofs the St. Mary's e-mail as the sending address (“forged sender”), then any message sent this way is likely to be treated as spam.
