What would you use instead of SMTP to forward the message? (Will gmail
not expose the submitting IP address anyway?) Assuming you are on a
Unix-like system:

As far as I can tell from the documentation, you can tell
git-send-email to use your local command line "sendmail"
implementation - if that helps to not reveal whatever you are hiding,
and  also do your header rewriting and whatever:
