Then you have your answer - add functionality to the interface which
already 'calls home' over HTTPS to trigger emails from your central
server.
This way you're squeaky-clean about the firewall privileges you've got
them to implement for you - never a good idea to hoodwink your
customer by stealth into allowing something which their security
policy doesn't want you to have. And it will work for all customers
without a second thought.
