I think it's very nlikely that Gmail will allow relaying, although you
should be able to send to your own account. Port 465 is for SMPTS (i.e. SSL
wrapped SMTP)

Gmail's SMTP server only allows encrypted connections; it also requires a
username and password. I don't think that mail() function can do such a
job. You should find a different function to send mail. There're some
clases in pear.php.net that may do the trick.
