I have never tried using it with other mail clients except for the default exchange server. Although from what I can see in the posted code is that you are not sending the User ID and Password for authentication. Wihtout authentication you will not be able to send an email. Take a look at this article which uses GMAIL in both .NET 1.1 & 2.0.

Although it is a C# code, you should be able to understand how to do the authentication part.
