I have code to send Mail from My web application.

I get the following error.

Did you try to telnet the SMTP server at port 25?

Actually, I think that was a suggestion that you try telnet.

Many ISPs don't allow machines connected to their network to make an outgoing TCP connection on port 25 as a spam reduction effort.

No, telnet is a utility application that comes with most operating systems. Assuming you're using Windows, go to Start -> Run, then enter telnet.exe smtp.gmail.com 25 and hit return. If you get a hello message from the SMTP server, then you are ale to connect. To get out, just type quit and hit return.
If, however, it hangs or gives you a connection refused error, then you are not able to connect.

I'm thinking that the telnet suggestion was not clear to the original poster, so I would like to elaborate just a bit.
The point is to debug the problem and see if the issue is with your use of the JavaMail API, or if you have a general TCP/IP connectivity issue.

The telnet application can be used to see if you are able to connect to the host/port via TCP/IP. If this doesn't work, no API which uses TCP/IP (such as Java Mail) will work either. No sense debugging Java Mail if you cannot get TCP/IP connectivity working.

I hope this make it clearer.

Were you able to connect to the GMail SMTP server host using telnet?

The answer to that question is going to be "no". Gmail doesn't use unsecured e-mail connections so it won't be listening at port 25.

And if you follow the JavaEnterpriseEditionFaq link and search for "gmail" you will find a link to what the JavaMail FAQ itself has to say about Gmail. Unfortunately, if you don't understand how e-mail works and how TCP/IP networking works, you're going to have a lot of trouble making your e-mail programs work when you have networking problems. As Mark said, no amount of looking at the code is going to help if the configuration isn't right.
