How to configure smtp email settings in dspace 6

[Sunakshi Tejwani]

Hey Everyone

I want to set-up the smtp email configuration in the dspace 6.
What changes were made?
1.) Edited file dspace.cfg

##### Email settings ######

# SMTP mail server (allows DSpace to send email notifications)
mail.server = smtp.gmail.com

# SMTP mail server authentication username and password (if required)
mail.server.username =sunakshitejwani@gmail.com
mail.server.password =dspace

# SMTP mail server alternate port (defaults to 25)
mail.server.port = 465

# From address for mail
# All mail from the DSpace site will use this 'from' address
mail.from.address = sunakshitejwani@gmail.com    

# Name of a pre-configured Session object to be fetched from a directory.
# This overrides the Session settings above.  If none can be found, then DSpace
# will use the above settings to create a Session.
#mail.session.name = Session

# When feedback is submitted via the Feedback form, it is sent to this address
# Currently limited to one recipient!
feedback.recipient = dspace-help@myu.edu

# General site administration (Webmaster) e-mail
# System notifications/reports and other sysadmin emails are sent to this address
mail.admin = sunakshitejwani@gmail.com

# Recipient for server errors and alerts (defaults to mail.admin)
alert.recipient = ${mail.admin}

# Recipient for new user registration emails (defaults to unspecified)
#registration.notify =

# Set the default mail character set. This may be overridden by providing a line
# inside the email template "charset: <encoding>", otherwise this default is used.
mail.charset = UTF-8

# A comma-separated list of hostnames that are allowed to refer browsers to email forms.
# Default behaviour is to accept referrals only from dspace.hostname
mail.allowed.referrers = ${dspace.hostname}

# Pass extra settings to the Java mail library. Comma-separated, equals sign between
# the key and the value. For example:
mail.extraproperties = mail.smtp.socketFactory.port=465, \
                       mail.smtp.socketFactory.class=javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory, \
                       mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback=false

# An option is added to disable the mailserver. By default, this property is set to false
# By setting mail.server.disabled = true, DSpace will not send out emails.
# It will instead log the subject of the email which should have been sent
# This is especially useful for development and test environments where production data is used when testing functionality.


#mail.server.disabled = false





But i am unable to register a new user through a gmail account in dspace.

2.) install smtp using the command

sudo apt-get install msmtp

But still is doesnt work
The error message is :: unable to send message to this address.
