Here is my telnet response:
Trying 74.125.45.109...
Connected to gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mx.google.com ESMTP v26sm52104286yhk.1
I can run thunderbird on the same machine and don't have any issues.
No, I am not running tbird at the same time as the django app. Thus,
I know it's not a port conflict.
