Answer 1

You could use any mail server to sent your mail.

But if you like to use GMail the server is smtp.gmail.com. But you also will have to make sure you authenticate as a valid gmail user.

Answer 2

I do not know if you can use port 25, for the encrypted SMTP port you can use

Host: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
Authentication: Yes
Username: [email protected]
Password: #YOUR_PASSWORD#
Security: SSL

Either way, just use smtp.gmail.com with your @yourdomain.com name.
