Central Deployment Tool (CDT) v1.9.3 - - <send_email to="me@gmail.com" subject="mysubject body="mybody" />

Having an issue with send_email
Testing in lab for now and trying to use gmail - port 587 with authentication username and password and TLS (this all works with Smart Event Server)
Everything I have tested in my CDT deployment plans work beautifully and now I would like the email to work for notification
I have not found anywhere to configure parameters for email other than the username and server
Have beat my head against the wall long enough and even beat CP's head against the wall (they are researching)
But if anyone has any ideas or has this working in the current version, I would be very appreciative

MDS R80.40 T139
set mail-notification username me@gmail.com
set mail-notification server smtp.gmail.com

My deployment plan is ... (keep in mind that all other functions have been tested and work - this plan is just email)
-------------------------

[Expert@mds10:0]# cat testemail.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CDT_Deployment_Plan>
<plan_settings>
<name value="Upgrade-To-R8040-Plus-Take139.xml" />
<description value="Upgrade-To-R8040-Plus-Take139.xml" />
<update_cpuse value="false" />
<connectivityupgrade value="false" />
</plan_settings>

<!-- Create a log -->
<log level="NORMAL" value="Finished installing major upgrade." />

<!-- Send an email -->
<send_email to="me@gmail.com" subject="mysubject" body="mybody" />

</CDT_Deployment_Plan>

The error I get is ...
-------------------------

An error has occurred in stage Send Email of machine gw31:

It looks to me, gmail does not want to talk to you via smtp. Encryption/Authentication maybe?

Thanks and right but I was not wanting to use port 25

"Testing in lab for now and trying to use gmail - port 587

I have not found anywhere to configure parameters for email"

Unfortunately sending mail over the non-default port is not supported

Sorry
