Advanced.. section you need specify the Smart host for forwarding the email for Gmail SMTP server (smtp.gmail.com).

“You can route all outgoing messages for remote domains through a smart host instead of sending them directly to the domain. This permits you to route messages over a connection that may be more direct or less costly than other routes. The smart host is similar to the route domain option for remote domains. The difference is that after a smart host is designated, all outgoing messages are routed to that server. With a route domain, only messages for the remote domain are routed to a specific server.”

You can find the Gmail SMTP server settings here.
