GMail doesn't use port 25, it's something else like 236... They use the  
TLS protocol to authenticate, and so you need to write code which will  
authenticate you before you can send outgoing mail through them.  I  
looked into that once upon a time, but could not figure it all out.  I  
gave up in the end, so I can't help you with a solution other than  
telling you that you need to look into TLS, which i'm not sure that PHP  
can handle...  I could be wrong.  Would love to see an update from you  
if you figure this one out, though :)
