Socket Error # 10054 sendmail xammp windows 7

[Valerio]

hello
I am running Xampp control panel V3.2.1 on Windows 7. My aim I to send email from php using sendmail. I spend many hours in tests using different smtp gmail port( 25, 587 and finally 465) and different setup.This is the best result I had:
16/09/20 16:55:25 ** --- MESSAGE BEGIN ---

sendmail.php


$to = "xxxx@yyyy.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
$headers = "From: gmailaccoun@gmail.com" . "\r\n";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
echo ("Message successfully sent!");
} else {
echo ("Message delivery failed...");
}
