gmail is a little different, there are a few things you need to do.
1) Did you enable SMTP in the gmail settings? It's turned off by default
2) Did you follow the authentication instructions provided by gmail?
3) Did you remember that you have to turn on encryption for your smtp to work?

Also, pelase do not double post your questions, it's against the posting guidelines.

Your code actually looks fairly correct.
I would guess that the user you are trying to send email as, has not enabled SMTP inside the gmail webpage.

Hi. I would like to let users send bug reports or other messages to me. Maybe the easiest way to send e-mails from my application is just use the default e-mail agent by executing a link mailto://mymail@domail.com.

Currently, I run postfix on my own server to send message from my site (password requests, account activation notices and other messages). I have phpMailer on the server and all the messages (currently about 1000 messages are sent daily) are sent by SMTP through postfix. I'm contemplating moving this particular site's email to Gmail. Is it possible to send mail through Gmail's servers with authentication and everything?
