What Gabriel said was correct.  You can use smtplib to connect to Gmail's
SMTP server as the library supports SSL/TLS required by Gmail (see here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287&topic=1556)

You do not need a local SMTP server to use smtplib, just use the values
found in that provided URL. Hope this helps,
