      May be your firewall or proxy blocked smtp.gmail.com
      try ping smtp.gmail.com and check that in CMD

    Hi, it worked for the first day but then Google rejected mails by telling:
    Technical details of permanent failure:
    Message rejected. See http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=69585 for more information.

    Is there any way to fix this?
