It looks like one issue is in the text that I bolded above. Do you have an email address at Gmail [email=my@gmail.com]my@gmail.com[/email] and a password "mypassword"?

EDIT: it won't let me bold it. :( It is the line of code with the "[b]" next to it.

My apps send from gmail smtp clients all the time. Mine doesn't contain the domain param. Just auth = new NetworkCredentials("user@gmail.com", "password"); is all I do.
