Heres a simple python script which could allow you to run a mail server on localhost, you dont have to change anything. Sorry if im a bit late.

import smtpd

import smtplib

import asyncore

class SMTPServer(smtpd.SMTPServer):

    def __init__(*args, **kwargs):
        print "Running fake smtp server on port 25"
        smtpd.SMTPServer.__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    def process_message(*args, **kwargs):
        to = args[3][0]
        msg = args[4]
        gmail_user = 'yourgmailhere'
        gmail_pwd = 'yourgmailpassword'
        smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com",587)
        smtpserver.ehlo()
        smtpserver.starttls()
        smtpserver.ehlo
        smtpserver.login(gmail_user, gmail_pwd)
        smtpserver.sendmail(gmail_user, to, msg)
        print 'sent to '+to
        pass

if __name__ == "__main__":
    smtp_server = SMTPServer(('localhost', 25), None)
    try:
        asyncore.loop()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        smtp_server.close()

#end of code

Note: I used args[3][0] and args[4] as to address and message as the args sent by my php mail() corresponded to an array of args[3][0] as receipent email
