Hey Vaishali, 

Thanks for your reply. I *finally* figured it out. Hallelujah.
The Debian installation manual specifically says to use exim4 in order to 
set up debian to use e-mail: 
https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/i386/ch08s05.html.en

I had to closely follow this tutorial in order to finally get it to work: 
https://wiki.debian.org/GmailAndExim4

I also had to fix my /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname file. 

I thought I'd post these in case you're using Debian.
