I have already sent mails through Google SMTP server, and it worked the 
last time I tried:

Dim hMsg As New SmtpClient

hMsg.Debug = True
hMsg.To.Add(...)
hMsg.Subject = "Test mail"
hMsg.Add("Something\n")
hMsg.From = "benoit.minisini at gmail.com"
hMsg.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"
hMsg.Encrypt = Net.TLS
hMsg.User = "benoit.minisini at gmail.com"
hMsg.Password = "*****"

hMsg.Send()
