Are you using the setup for SMTP in the vboptions?

In order for you to setup the SMTP (usually), you need to have a POP3 email account or a free mail account that will allow you to access their SMTP server. In a typical example, you would have an email account setup in your cPanel and it usually points to the SMTP server for your domain. for example your SMTP server might be mail.yourdomain.com. You login to mail.yourdomain.com using something like [email protected] / password and that lets your email client read/download the messages that are there and send what is in your email queue for the email cleint you are using.
The vBulletin SMTP setup uses this same information to send out notifications.
gmail has a setup for using their SMTP server the same way but I think its a little flakey lately. You can check their site for the latest configuration information which is a little different than I have described but works the same way.
SMTP Server / Host = mail.yourdomain.com (gmail uses smtp.gmail.com)
username = [email protected] (or any valid SMTP account on that server)
password = same as POP3 password.
Port is usually 25 ( gmail is a special port you will need to look it up)

Before you can use gmail SMTP, you have to enable POP.
You can retrieve your Gmail messages with a client or device that supports POP, like Microsoft Outlook or Netscape Mail.
To enable POP in Gmail:
1. Sign in to Gmail.
2. Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page.
3. Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
Gmail POP Settings
4. Select Enable POP for all mail or Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
5. Choose the action you'd like your Gmail messages to take after they are accessed with POP.
6. Configure your POP client* and click Save Changes.
Next up, SMTP.
Configure your client to match the settings below:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your full email address (including @gmail.com or @your_domain.com)
Email Address: your email address ([email protected] or username@your_domain.com)
Password: your Gmail password
Unless you're using recent mode to download mail to multiple clients, make sure you've opted not to leave messages on the server. Your Gmail settings determine whether or not messages stay on the server, so this setting in your client won't affect how Gmail handles your mail.
Please note that if your client does not support SMTP authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.
Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encyrption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.
You're now ready to use POP with your Gmail address.

SSL and its in the dropdown menu for SMTP Secure Connection in vboptions for SMTP
This configuration you have should be correct but its SSL instead of TLS
Hôte SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
Port SMTP: 465
Nom d’utilisateur SMTP: my gmail mail like: “[email protected]â€Â
Mot de passe SMTP: my gmail password.
Connexion SMTP sécurisée : TLS
When you get it configured, run the email test in Maintenance>Diagnostics to make sure it is correct.
