this.smtpServersettings is sending mail to undelivered options instead of gmail

I want to send a email to real gmail ID's to the end users. So I used smtp.gmail.com as mail server with my own email user name & password. But if I use this.smtpServersettings in my application.cfc it's not sending a email. All the mail's are went to undelivered options. My sample code, App.cfc :

<cfset this.name='mailfn8'>
<cfset this.smtpServersettings={server:"smtp.gmail.com",username:"[email protected]",password:"mypassword"}>

My.cfm : 

<cfmail from='[email protected]' to='[email protected]' subject='test' type='html' port="587" usetls="true">
    I'm seding a email by using this.smtpServersettings options.
</cfmail>

But the credentials are working great in below scenario,

-- If I set my details in application scope and use that values in cfmail tag
-- Directly set it in coldfusion mail server setting

For example, App.cfc :

<cfset this.name='mailfn8'>
<cffunction name='onApplicationStart'>

    <cfset application.server='smtp.gmail.com'>
    <cfset application.username='[email protected]'>
    <cfset application.password='mypassword'>

</cffunction>

My.cfm :

<cfmail from='[email protected]' to='[email protected]' server= '#application.server#' username='#application.userName#' password='#application.password#' subject='test' type='html' port="587" usetls="true">
    I'm seding a email by using application scope.
</cfmail>

The above working fine. So why this.smtpServersettings is send email to undelivered option instead of gmail. ? .Do I need to enable any other setting if I use this.smtpServerSetting ? Please help me on this. Correct me if I'm understood anything wrong. Thank you !.

The smtpServerSettings struct does not support port and usetls.

My suggestion is to create your own struct in application scope then pass to cfmail tag with argumentCollection attribute.
