PHP mail function won't send mail to the desired email_id

Question

I have following piece of code. It returns message "send successfully " but we won't receive email at given gmail, Is this code right or have I missed something?

   <?php

require("mailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php");
require("mailer/class.smtp.php");
require("mailer/class.phpmailer.php");
$name=$_POST['Your_Name'];
$email=$_POST['Your_Email'];
$message=$_POST['Your_Msg'];
echo $name  ;

$mail = new PHPMailer();

// set mailer to use SMTP
//$mail->IsSMTP();

// As this email.php script lives on the same server as our email server
// we are setting the HOST to localhost
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // specify main and backup server
$mail->Port = "465";

$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication

$mail->Username = "mandarpatil0003@gmail.com"; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "Con@Soumitra1"; // SMTP password
// $email is the user's email address the specified
// on our contact us page. We set this variable at
// the top of this page with:
// $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$mail->From = $email;

// below we want to set the email address we will be sending our email to.
$mail->AddAddress("mandarpatil0003@gmail.com", "Mandar");

// set word wrap to 50 characters
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
// set email format to HTML
$mail->IsHTML(true);

$mail->Subject = "You have received feedback from your website!";

// $message is the user's message they typed in
// on our contact us page. We set this variable at
// the top of this page with:
// $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->AltBody ="Name    : {$name}\n\nEmail   : {$email}\n\nMessage : {$message}";

if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}
else
{
echo "Thank you for contacting us. We will be in touch with you very soon.";
}
?>

Does this code have any problems or do I have to try a different approach?

Some mail host have some type of security filters. so better to try with gmail, ymail etc. not to private email host and check. — Rakesh Sharma, May 26 '16 at 05:18
`$mail->Port = "465"; // 8025, 587 and 25 can also be used. Use Port 465 for SSL.` port was missing — prasanth, May 26 '16 at 05:24
