GMail will check to see if the hostname (gmail.com) of the from sender matches that of the IP and hostname from which the request that your e-mail came from. In this case, it won’t as you’re using localhost to send the mail.

In situations when I need to test e-mail from a localhost that might not match up properly with sender hostnames etc, I use mailinator - a free service designed for temporary e-mails. What I do is to create a mailinator e-mail then send the mail to that. I can then check my mailinator e-mail.
