<snip from Gmail SMTP setup instructions>
Under outgoing mail smtp server, use smtp.gmail.com. Since it requires SMTP
authorization, use your Gmail account as username (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and
your Gmail password as password. You can turn TSL on or off.
<end snip>
The email server requires authentication before it can send.
Normally this can be accomplished either by calling
server.login(userid, password)
The only alternative is to use an open relay email server that allows
you to send without authenticating. Hope info at least points you in
the right direction.
