Sending mail through Gmail with CakeEmail (again)?

Sorry for not bumping old topics, but has anyone managed to send an email with CakeEmail and stmp.gmail.com?

My settings:

class EmailConfig {

public $gmail = array(

'transport' => 'Smtp',

'from' => array('user@domain.com' => 'Name'),

'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',

'port' => 465,

'timeout' => 10,

'username' => 'user@domain.com',

'password' => 'youwishyouknew',

'client' => null,

'log' => true,

//'charset' => 'utf-8',

//'headerCharset' => 'utf-8',

                'emailFormat' => 'html'

);

My Controller code:

function test_email(){

$mail = new CakeEmail('gmail');

                $mail->addTo('user@anotherdomain.com', 'User');

                $mail->from('user@domain.com', 'User');

                $mail->subject('TESTING '.rand(10, 100));

                $mail->template('test', 'default');

                $return = $mail->send();

                debug($return);

                debug($mail);

        die();

}

I keep getting Connection timeouts and Socket errors. Basically, the damn thing won't even connect, auth is never even touched. (neither dev, nor production machine..)

I am using Google Apps on that domain (same domain as the production, not that it should matter...)

I have checked for mod_openssl on the server.
I have double checked the auth info.

I am using Cake 2.2.1

Is there something else I'm missing? Or should I just search for another email library?

Thanks! Cheers!
