Rails - Jul 2006 - Getting ActionMailer off the ground

First off, I wanted to thank the list. You all have been a great help 
with my rookie questions as I''m getting my RoR app off the ground. Now 
to the problem I''m having with ActionMailer.  No matter what I set in 
ActionMailer::Base.server_settings when my app tries to send mail I get 
a 501: HELO hostname error.  I basically set it up matching the 
ActionMailer wiki page. I''ve tried using my machine as the smtp server 
with just localhost settings, and I''ve tried using my office''s
smtp
server with their settings.  Everytime the same error message.  The log 
file shows the email being created.  It shows the following header 
information:


Sent mail:
From: dans@bias-inc.com
To: dans@bias-inc.com
Subject: New ticket has been created
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8


It doesn''t show any HELO or "Received from" info in the log.
Is it
supposed to? I can''t figure out why with two different smtp server 
settings, I''m getting the exact same error message.  I found a couple
of
threads on the list that went over similar problems, but the solutions 
didn''t work in my case.


If I am just using my machine as a localhost smtp server do I need to 
even specify any server_settings options? I tried not specifying any and 
just leaving everything at the default, but still got the 501:HELO 
hostname error.  Sorry for the long-winded mail, but I''ve been going in
circles for the better part of a day with this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

OK. I''ll save everyone the trouble of answering, and hopefully save 
someone the hoop-jumping that I went through.  After a reboot of my 
machine it is working now with all of the default server settings.  I''m
running ruby and rails within Locomotive, and I guess the 
config/environment files are cached even after restarting the server via 
Locomotive. This seems to contradict the rails docs, which say that when 
running in development mode the config files are reloaded every time. 
Anyways, sorry for the bandwidth.
