Success, it can connect.
% telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 587
Fail, the error is:
Trying 209.85.147.114...
telnet: connect to address 209.85.147.114: Connection refused
Trying 209.85.147.27...

Same here. I don't think Gmail supports sending email messages through
_any_ gmail*.google.com host.
There are instructions for Gmail `clients' at:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287
Your Sendmail processes have to act like Gmail `clients', so they are
not expected to connect directly to `gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com'.
Can you describe your Sendmail setup a bit more? It seems that one of
two things are possible:
* You are trying to directly email the world from a Sendmail instance
running in an ISP's network. The ISP provides already a mail relay
which you can use.
* You are trying to use `gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com' as your mail
relay (SMART_HOST), instead of `smtp.gmail.com'.
