So use a private e-mail address (e.g., at fastmail.fm if you don't
want to run your mail server) and then tunnel out SMTP requests using
ssh.  It's not hard.  :-)

I've worked a multiple $BIG_COMPANY's, and I've been doing this for
decades.  It's also helpful when I need to send e-mails from
conference networks from my laptop....
