Proxys SMTP requests to Gmail's SMTP server

Simple SMTP Gmail proxy
By Gregory Eric Sanderson Turcot Temlett MacDonnell Forbes

One of the servers that I maintain has a crappy Exim that randomly crashes. In a fit of frustration, 
while looking for a solution that would notify me when problems occured, I hacked together this script. 
When monit can't send me warning messages through Exim, it sends them to my gmail account through 
this script that acts as a backup SMTP server.
