how to send email through gmail smtp in codeginiter?

My site is on Godaddy hosting which have PHP version 5.4.34. I used the codeigniters email library, I have configured the following settings in email.php under the config folder. 

<?php
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com';
$config['smtp_port'] = '465';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'gmail account email';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'pass';
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['newline'] = "\r\n";
?>

Here is my code in controller file.

      <?php
    $msg ='';
     $msg .='<h3>Thank you for register</h3>';
      $msg .='Please follow The bellow link.';       
     $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Kayah Photography');
     $this->email->to($_POST['email']);
     $this->email->subject('Kayah Photography: Registration');
     $this->email->message($msg);
     if($this->email->send()) {
        $html ='';
        $html .= '<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">';          
        $html .='Please check your email for details'; 
           $data['error'] = '';
           $data['success'] = $html;
           //$this->load->view('admin/new_en', $data); 
           redirect('admin/signup');
       } else { // email else
             show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
       } // email else end  
   ?>

After all the above setting I am unable to solve the following error please anybody know how to fix this.

GoDaddy blocks all outgoing SMTP connections on their hosting. You will have to use their SMTP relay servers instead, or use a different host.
