 smtp.gmail.com is for Gmail users to send ''from'' their @gmail.com
 address, and
 [https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287 requires
 authenticating with a Google account username and password]. To send mail
 ''to'' a designated Gmail address, you use gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com:
 {{{
 $ dig MX gmail.com
 ;; ANSWER SECTION:
 gmail.com.              605     IN      MX      10 alt1.gmail-smtp-
 in.l.google.com.
 gmail.com.              605     IN      MX      20 alt2.gmail-smtp-
 in.l.google.com.
 gmail.com.              605     IN      MX      30 alt3.gmail-smtp-
 in.l.google.com.
 gmail.com.              605     IN      MX      40 alt4.gmail-smtp-
 in.l.google.com.
 gmail.com.              605     IN      MX      5 gmail-smtp-
 in.l.google.com.
 }}}
 But unfortunately, on first investigation this incoming SMTP doesn't
 support TLS, so our messages will be blockable just by grepping for
 whatever designated address we use.
