The machine hosting GitLab should have a mail server installed, postfix
is recommended. Then you can use the smtp settings of the external mail
server to use with GitLab. That way you will have GitLab send events
notifications. The mail of those notifications is the one you specify in
`gitlab.yml`. Not sure how to make the same mail account to also receive
mails, although not recommended. The easiest way to handle mails is to
use an external service like mandrill.

I'll try to compose a guide on setting the mail and push to GitLab docs.
