Error by sending e-mail

I get the error when try to send an e-mail. It is about failed connection with smtp server.
Error:
Exception thrown while sending watcher email: The SMTP connection failed to start [tls://smtp.googlemail.com:465]: fsockopen returned Error Number 139953000 and Error String ''

Hi there,
It looks like your server could not establish a connection properly (or at all) using gmails SMTP server. Are you still experiencing the issue, or have you been able to send mail since? if that continues to happen, you may want to try seeing if you can telnet into the gmail smtp server from your command line to make sure it can even attempt to connect.
