How is email sent from an ASP.NET site using the GMail SMTP server?

Possible duplicate:
Sending email through a Gmail SMTP server using C #

I would like my ASP.NET MVC application to send standard emails to site users. For testing purposes, I do not have a local SMTP server, and my provider does not have the one I know about. Therefore, I must use public services such as GMail SMTP.

How do I send an email using smtp.gmail.commy GMail account? What exactly should I put in Web.config, and for the code, provided that my email address drastomail@gmail.comand my password are password?

thank

EDIT

When I try to run a demo program:

class Program {
    static void Main(string[] args) {
        var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587) {
            Credentials = new NetworkCredential("puzzlehunters@gmail.com", "puzzlehunters111"),
            EnableSsl = true
        };
        client.Send("puzzlehunters@gmail.com", "puzzlehunters@gmail.com", "test", "testbody");
        Console.WriteLine("Sent");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

. :

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 209.85.227.109:587
