Cakephp SMTP emails syntax error

I've got a problem with email sending in cake. My method looks like this:

$this->Email->smtpOptions = array(
            'port'=>'465', 
            'timeout'=>'30',
            'auth' => true,
            'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
            'username'=>'[email protected]',
            'password'=>'mypass',
        );

        $this->Email->from    = "admin@localhost";
        $this->Email->to      = "[email protected]";
        $this->Email->subject = "Test";
        $this->Email->sendAs = "text";

        $this->Email->delivery = 'smtp';

        $this->Email->send('Hello message body!');

But when I try to send the email I get:

555 5.5.2 Syntax error. l3sm512374fan.0

What do I need to chnage in order for this to work?

Thanks

Per RFC2821, to which Google's SMTP servers seem to be a stickler on, the format of the email addresses should be in the following way:

Recipient Name <[email protected]>
-or-
<[email protected]>

Do this for both the from and to address, and you should be good to go. If you don't have the name of the user, then you can just repeat the email:

$this->Email->to = "[email protected] <[email protected]>";
-or-
$this->Email->to = "<[email protected]>";
