Sure. So you have another bug. To be sure, try typing a wrong password 
and see if it's rejected.

Try adding some STDERR.puts "..." lines to see how far you're getting.

I note some strange things in your script:

Net::SMTP.start('smtp.gmail.com', 587, 'gmail.com',
                      username, password, :plain) do |smtp|
  smtp.send_message message
 '@gmail.com'      #<< this line does nothing
 '@txt.att.net'    #<< this line does nothing
end

and:

while Times_Sent < x
Times_Sent = Times_Sent + 1   # This just loops until Times_sent == x
end

I suggest you start with the simplest possible script - which sends one 
E-mail - before making it more complex. Google for "ruby Net::SMTP 
gmail" to find some working examples.
