I''ve got the following configured in environment.rb:
ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
:address => "mail.xyz.com",
:port => 25,
:domain => "www.xyz.com",
:user_name => "user",
:password => "password",
:authentication => :login
}
I can connection to the ISP''s SMTP server with my email client, and it
sends just fine. But from my RoR app, the SMTP server is basically
saying it''s not authenicating. It isn''t using TLS
authenication.
Any ideas? The odd thing is that ActionMailer doesn''t throw an
exception
- it thinks everything has gone smoothly.

I gave up trying to authenticate with my ISP''s SMTP server and ended up using SendMail instead. If anyone is trying to send email from their RoR applications, I would suggest using sendmail - way faster and if you are running RHEL 4 or some other distribution with it preinstalled, very easy to configure and use. On our RHEL4 server I didn''t have to change a single configuration item. In environment.rb to use sendmail, you just need these 2 lines: ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :sendmail ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true You don''t need the second one, but will save yourself a lot of headache if you put that in. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
