Email verification in grails - grails

Question

I am new with grails and am developing a web application in grails.
In my registration page I am getting the user's email id and I need to send a mail with authentication link.
http://grails.org/plugin/mail
http://grails.org/plugin/email-confirmation
I have referred these pages and many other pages to do this task.
But the problem is, my email is not sending.
I have used
Gmail SMTP server address : smtp.gmail.com
Gmail SMTP username : myid#gmail.com
Gmail SMTP password : -my password-
Gmail SMTP port : 465
Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required : yes
Mail settings are:
grails {
mail {
host = "smtp.gmail.com"
port = 465
username = "myId#gmail.com"
password = "mypassword"
props = [
"mail.smtp.auth":"true",
"mail.smtp.socketFactory.port":"465",
"mail.smtp.socketFactory.class": "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory",
"mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback":"false"]
}
}
grails.mail.default.from="noreply#gmail.com"
but at least
sendMail {
to "friend#gmail.com"
subject "Hello "
body 'How are you?'
}
is not working.
The exception occured is
Error 500: Internal Server Error

Try this it's worked for me.
Notice that: Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required : yes.
But you don't put "mail.smtp.starttls.enable": "true"
grails.mail.host="smtp.gmail.com"
grails.mail.port=587
grails.mail.username="yourUsernameHere"
grails.mail.password="yourPwdHere"
grails.mail.from="defaultMailFromHere"
grails.mail.props = ['mail.smtp.auth': "true",
"mail.smtp.starttls.enable": "true",
"mail.from":"defaultMailFromHere"]
grails.mail.javaMailProperties = ['mail.smtp.auth': "true",
"mail.smtp.starttls.enable": "true",
"mail.from":"defaultMailFromHere"]
