If you've already got email working through GMail, then you can certainly use the phpMailer class to have your website scripts use SMTP authentication to your gmail account to send out email messages.
This should only require that your website scripts that send email are updated to use the phpMailer class and SMTP authentication, and that the phpMailer class is present and accessible by those scripts.
On the other hand, if you're referring to setting up a mailserver on a Linode, you can find a wealth of information on this helpful support article
