Sending PHP mails from localhost behind a proxy server

I want to send mails using php script in localhost. Via google I found switchmailer. I tried the following code using swiftmailer.

<?php
require_once 'lib/swift_required.php';

$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
  ->setUsername('[email protected]')
  ->setPassword('gmailpassword')
  ;
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

// Create a message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Wonderful Subject')
  ->setFrom(array('[email protected]' => 'John Doe'))
  ->setTo(array('[email protected]', '[email protected]' => 'A name'))
  ->setBody('Here is the message itself')
  ;

// Send the message
$result = $mailer->send($message);

?>

The code was giving error in lase line $result = $mailer->send($message);

The php error log file contains following info

[error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Swift_TransportException' with message 'Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com [Network is unreachable #101]' in /home/shashwat001/public_html/swift/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/StreamBuffer.php:259\nStack trace:\n#0 /home/shashwat001/public_html/swift/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/StreamBuffer.php(64): Swift_Transport_StreamBuffer->_establishSocketConnection()\n#1 /home/shashwat001/public_html/swift/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/AbstractSmtpTransport.php(115): Swift_Transport_StreamBuffer->initialize(Array)\n#2 /home/shashwat001/public_html/swift/lib/classes/Swift/Mailer.php(80): Swift_Transport_AbstractSmtpTransport->start()\n#3 /home/shashwat001/public_html/swift/index.php(31): Swift_Mailer->send(Object(Swift_Message))\n#4 {main}\n thrown in /home/shashwat001/public_html/swift/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/StreamBuffer.php on line 259

The reason seems to be that I am connected to a LAN network so behind a proxy server. Nothing is there much on net regarding proxy settings in switchmailer.

Is there any way to send mails anywhere outside LAN using localhost behind proxy server?

The correct port for Google Mail is 465, Google also uses SSL for connections to Gmail.
