Google Apps and custom domain email problems.

My domain is victorlinphoto.com and my email is victor@victorlinphoto.com

I recently switched to Google Apps for handling of all of my emails, but this resulted in the email contact form breaking on my website because it's now trying to send emails via an invalid email server. I need to change this email server to Google.

It's all a bit confusing to me. All I know is that I need to fix my contact form ASAP.

I've downloaded PHPMailer and I'm trying to figure out their example PHP script for Gmail accounts:

<html>
<head>
<title>PHPMailer - SMTP (Gmail) basic test</title>
</head>
<body>

<?php

//error_reporting(E_ALL);
error_reporting(E_STRICT);

date_default_timezone_set('America/Toronto');

require_once('../class.phpmailer.php');
//include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$body = file_get_contents('contents.html');
$body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
// 1 = errors and messages
// 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "victor@victorlinphoto.com"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "password"; // GMAIL password

$mail->SetFrom('victor@victorlinphoto.com', 'First Last');

$mail->AddReplyTo("victor@victorlinphoto.com","First Last");

$mail->Subject = "PHPMailer Test Subject via smtp (Gmail), basic";

$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test

$mail->MsgHTML($body);

$address = "rabidsoggymoose@gmail.com";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "John Doe");

$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif"); // attachment
$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer_mini.gif"); // attachment

if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}

?>

</body>
</html>

I filled out the account info above but when I run it to test I get an error:

SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

Can anyone help? I thought that I had all my SMTP stuff set correctly.
